WHat is the best program out on the marker to stop all spyware/adware programs from getting onto your system? I have norton 2004 and it seems to slide around it. I'm having problems with WINHOT32.DLL. For some reason my norton has stopped it automatic checking/and run at startup. Does Winhot32.dll have something to do with that? Thanks for any infor that can be given...

We reccomend the program to prevent spyware from sneaking its way onto your PC after we know your system is clean. Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results. <_<
