And I do realize that I need to go in the control panel to add/ remove to permanently remove them too. Adobe had been sending pop ups saying there were updates. Is it okay to update those now?

Okay. So I guess I don't want to end this with all my little noes here... Sorry.

I did notice that when I went in to the add/remove program to remove superanitspyware that it asked me if I wanted to delete quaranteened items. I clicked no thinking it would take me out of the removal process, but it didn't. When that was done, I noticed the layout of this forum changed.

Other than that we are all done

What about the quaranteen folder that I didn't delete when prompted during the removal of superantispyware? Is that left lurking somewhere on my computer?

Also since removing some of the software, I have not rebooted the computer. Should I reboot before using ATF cleaner?

[Rorschach112]

Run ATF then reboot

Leave the quarantine folder to be safe

[Mikey83]

Thank you Rorschach! I rebooted and and the layout is back to how it was. I am ready to let this thread be closed and resolved. Thank you, thank you I went from feeling like this to this

With your last post, would you tell me if netscape is not a browser that you would advise to use? I would use firefox as we have that too.

Also, what do you mean by keeping the quaranteened items to be safe? I would just assume I would want to be free of these. Just would like to educate myself on that. I have been reading all the links on keeping the computer safe and gathering lots of info.

Take care!

[Rorschach112]

Honestly I don't know much about Netscape. I do know that Firefox is very safe and very good, so I find that to be the best.

You should leave the quarantine folder, as sometimes programs give false positives, that is why we recommend not touching quarantine folders. It is an extra precaution
