Yes they are both spyware. Did malwarebytes remove it ? |

Do not do too much until they are cleared as they are both keyloggers and quite nasty according to Symantec. |

I may have mentioned this before, but you need to: -Update both your Anti-Virus and MalwareBytes AntiMalware to be sure you have the latest definitions in both. -Boot up in SAFE MODE (hit F8 while booting) -Run your anti-virus and do a "complete" scan of your system. Let it fix anything it finds -Run MalwareBytes AntiMalware and do a "complete" scan of your system. Let it fix anything it finds (don't do "quick" scans with either tool, do "complete" scans) -Reboot back into normal mode. The reason why you need to do this in "safe mode" is that the tools may not be able to remove the problems while the problems are in fact running / locked open. Safe Mode should let your tools do a better job of cleaning up. |

To add to Eagles post It is also recommended to clear the restore points too as the nasties can be saved in there. |

Thanks Ren. Ok I am going to finally download Windows 7 today. Eagle you recommend 32-bit for me? If I run the 32-bit one when it comes to updating drivers like video...which do I pick then 32 or 64? Also one more question can I download both 32-bit and 64-bit? |

If you run 32 bit you should use either 32 bit drivers or drivers which don't care and work on both. If you want to get the Windows 7 RC1 from Microsoft (and not from usenet or bittorent) you should do it soon. They are only offering it for another week or two. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/download.aspx Once you have it installed it will work until March of next year, so you can look at paying for the upgrade at some point in the future. |

Let me know if you need anything (PS, Flash Banner Maker, whatever I have given you in the past.) Be sure to turn off UAC. It's a pain in the butt.... Disable and Turnoff UAC in Windows 7 from Control Panel 1. Access User Control Panel from Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account 2. Click on User Account Control settings link. 3. Move the Slider to Never Notify 4. Click OK to make the change effective 5. Reboot. |

If you go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and tell it which graphics card you have, it will auto-detect that you are on Windows 7 and take you to the appropriate driver. Probably good to install the Windows 7 specific driver for Nvidia instead of using the Vista ones (although they do work). |
