Hi,
A dear friend of mine suggested that i download spyhunter scanner from this site http://www2.enigmasoftwaregroup.com/free_download_356.html
which i did and now it tells me i have parasites like seek seek parasite and others in my registry. my query is that how reliable is this site and its results and how do these parasites get in to my pc i use firewall and a very good anti virus which i update reg….plz ans asap i will be greatfulFebruary 5, 2004 at 1:48 pm #50302Red DevilMemberThese parasites arent viruses, so your antivirus scanner has no effect on them. they are spyware and the only way to get rid of them is to run a spyware scanner, like the one you are using. i use ad-aware 6 and spybot. mainly, they just give you annoying adverts and slow your computer down. they can be put on your pc by some websites and in programs downloaded from the internet. the best thing to do is to run a scan after your finished on the internet each day. im assuming that the results from the scanner are pretty accurate. if you dont like this scanner, heres a link to download ad-aware 6

and one for spybot

February 6, 2004 at 12:34 pm #50301Red DevilMemberYou have to pay to remove them?? ok then, thats… daft. just download spybot or ad-aware 6 as these programs remove them for you, and you dont have to pay. and yeah, you should try scanning every day, when your finished on the computer.
