| This also happened to my machine last week. Have spent
5 days trying to remove. Be careful, lots of crap has since appeared on my program list and my machine is slowly but surely grinding to a halt. Have tried at least 10 very good adware and spy removers. Have even tried all these in safe mode but nothing works. Got into registry and deleted files but everything still reloads on start up. Any info gratefully received. Many thanks. |

I picked up an xp box from a client today with this exact problem. The task manager is disabled, this windows error wall paper is up, and repeated safe-mode spyware scans with adaware and spybot haven't stopped it yet. Anybody know how to get this stuff off? |

Are you sure you don't own or work for SpywareNo? Considering you're sticking up for a "company" that uses STEALTH INSTALL to market their "spyware removal" application.
SpywareNo goes as far as saying their advertisers would invent stealth installers, desktop hijacking, porn dialers, and much, much more. That makes me believe SpywareNo is somewhere in this too, since I don't think an advertiser is going to do that.
Get your head out of your bottom, Jessica Simmons. |

| Jessica Simmons in all likelihood does not exist.
The group behind SpywareNo, SpySheriff and Smart-Security is Russian and very unlikely to employ anyone with the name "Simmons". Their domains (aside from rogue anti-spyware, they're involved in the usual viagra and linkfarm stuff) are registered under a variety of addresses, likely fake, but all with Russian names (and almost all 'Aleksandr').
A representative of theirs can be spotted on the Russian adult webmaster forums soliciting installations by exploit.
I take it no reply from good old Emil then? This is hardly the most offensive thing he is hosting, after all... |

the other day I was looking to be hijacked with the spysheriff program. Looked up my firewall logs and the ip address is directed to the Netherlands.
Seems most of the virus/trojans/worms either are directed to China or the Netherlands (directed to European countries from here).
Wonder what the US government is doing about this? NADA? |
