Spyware Help: "Traffic Marketplace" and "Adwave"

Posted on 02/09/2005 5:40:35 PM PST by scottybk

Anyone know how to get rid of these 2 parasites? I've tried Spybot and Ad-Aware, and HiJack This. Nothing works; every time I reboot they're back. I'm sure lots of you out there have this problem. Is removing them beyond a layperson's capability. Also, why has Congress not acted in outlawing thiscrap and tracking down these scumbags? It seem to me they are no different than burglars who invade your home and re-arrange the furniture. At a macro level, how the hell is this stuff even profitable? I've never heard of anyone who clicks on pop-up ads, most people don't even read them- they just shut the window immediately.

Did you post your Hijack This log to a tech forum for expert help?

I haven't tried this yet, but here's a site that allows you to copy/paste your Hijack This log results to be analyzed: HijackThis log file analysis
