I have windows98 every time i open win dows these 3 adwares enter computer CWS- about blank,CWS_ NS3,CWS_TINYO AND Trojan downloader – silly . I used webroot spysweeper and it removes the above and also use ccleaner but when i open windows they return. Any help will be appreciated Thank You
You seem to have some fairly serious problems there. The viruses/adware/spyware, call them what you will, have most probably inserted startup entries into your registry. All I can suggest is to search Symantec for each of your specified parasites, and have a look at their removal instructions.
it’s cool web search
your cure: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/coolwebshredder.htmlThat was weird ran coolwebshredder and it said that i have no coolweb found. But ran webroot spysweeper right after and it found cws_ns3 and cws_tinyo. Are these even hidden from shredder. All are in the registry.
Turned off computer then turned back on and used shredder still found no cws and used spysweeper only cws left was cws_ns3
I have these that I just can’t seem to get rid of…I think one is associated with Kazaa which has not been on my PC for ages. But these are the three. I thought Delfin was just a DVD viewer.
# Altnet
# Delfin
# DownloadwareAny idea how to get rid of them???

I think I had Downloadware once, if I remember right you can not just kill the process from the task manager. Download winpatrol if you are a bit hesitant to go into your registry or to change your boot.ini. You can get it here.

You can use it to see what programs are running from startup and you can kill active process, I think that did the job of stopping the process.
If I remeber right you should be able to unistall it from your add/remove programs, I am not sure though. Check that also out.
This was a while back or it was some other spyware/addware that I had so if some of the things I have written may not work.Went to removal page but when i download file a download just keeps flashing and i can’t do anything. have to shut off computer.
Just an update on my little problem….CounterSpy worked like a charm….it’s rocking my world…I have the 15 day trial…this is HOUR one….I like it…I like it a lot. 🙂

Click on “go” and a window should come up saying “Virus scan” or “securtiy check”. I’ve used both these services and think they work really well. Should get rid of your problem. If not, let me know and I can walk you through on how to fix it.
