I agree with Silverbrain.

My Dad had a computer, and he said that his internet connection wasn't working.

I decide to run a virus scan, Norton picks up some trojans.

Then I try Spybot, it finds a few problem files.

Still the internet connection is not working. I finally decide to d/l spysweeper, since I had seen it in a magazine.

As soon as I run it, things are popping out of the woodwork. 40 traces of spyware, 24 trojans. And if you include, the 4 that Norton picked up, that brings us to 28 trojans.

After all that was cleaned everything was fixed.

Whenever, anyone has a problem w/ spyware, one of the first programs I recommend is spysweeper.
