Ran every spyware remover suggested here. It gets detected and removed, but it keeps coming back.
How do I stop this? |
it's definitely either in your registry or your start up log if it keeps re-installing after being removed.
the problem is when a cleaning utility only removes the installed files and doesn't clean the registry entry/entries as well. If this is the case, it's going to keep re-istalling, likely on startup.
I know you've said that you've used all utilities here...but have you used "Hijack This" to see your startup log? If there's anything obviously suspicious in there, delete it (be careful what you delete though, lol).
Spybot's registry protection is excellent, I find...anything trying to make a registry change or jack your browser results in your being prompted to approve or deny the change.
failing all of this...post something on that geekstogo site or google your particular virus/worm/whatever and I'm sure there are specific cleaning instruction available.

lots of info...but try a reliable source...I wouldn't be surprised if these ******s intentionall put out b.s. cleaning utilities that do more harm
