I admit it, i new it was a trap but i couldnt resitst. my downloads were too slow and i was looking for a way to speed them up so i downloaded robusst (dont know spelling) Free internet speed booster. i knew it was suspicious but i installed it anyway... things were fine but i wanted to uninstall because i knew it was a bad idea. so i uninstalled it and two days later, my internet crashed. just on my computer. not on any other comupters in the house. i know it most likely has to do wit a huge infection of ebates moe money maker i saw it come up as i installed the program (mainly why in uninstalled it). i took care of the spyware but still no internet back. i know that i am recieving connection because many programs (IE AIM) and windows tell me that i am recieving connection but no data is getting through. i am sending and recieving packets though. i checked my logs since logging in and it tells me that even though the infection is gone... instances of ebates continue to try to reinstall themselves upon startup (which is blocked by one of my programs. It tells me C:\Program Files\Save\save.exe is the file that installs itself but i couldnt find the file using windows explorer or DOS. i have used all of my spyware and virus programs and there are no infections but i still have no internet... If anyone knows what i can do to fix this it will be greatly appriciated.


Thanks
