Re: OT: Spyware
I have Spyboy S&D I just hadn't run it yet. I guess I had forgot about it. But thanks for the tip RD.
I went through and found a whole slew of folders in Program Files that were junk and then I went through add and remove programs and there were a ton of stuff dealing with babes in bikinis and so forth that the user had not installed. I removed those and some of the search bars that were in IE are now gone. Hopefull that solves the problem or at least makes it more tolerable.
Abdiel - I will run that program to see what else I may have missed and see if that does the trick.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Re: OT: Spyware
My sister had this problem a few days ago with popups that weren't related to IE. It took me 5 hours of constant scanning with Adaware And Spybot S&D plus scanning with a AVG 6.0 to get rid of the dam things.
I'm pretty sure you've checked for Viruses, we had some Trojans on that computer that might have had something to do with it. Either way it's fixed now. 
Good Luck sorting it out  |

Re: OT: Spyware
Some are alittle harder to remove. Even spyware and adaware can fall short. They require a seperate program to search and destroy them.
By any chance, if the person googles a search... does the first 4 or 5 results try to force them to search again at a site called 2020?

Not in our case, no it does not.
But I have seen it happen before.

In our network we have it constantly scanning for viruses so this is not a problem. If there is a virus it does not Last for more then a couple hours.

Re: OT: Spyware
Turn off the messenger service. How you do it depends on the domain model (or lack there of) If you are running ADDS, then you can do it with Group Policy. If its a workgroup, then just set it to manual start in the services snap in.

Re: OT: Spyware
SpubLaster is also a damn fine piece of programming.
It prevents filth like spyware, popups and the like to install in the first place.
