I know this has nothing to do with PSP or PSP3D.com but please SOMEONE help me out here. I have used a number of virus and spyware, adware, trojan etc. removers on free trials, such as Spyware begon, XoftSoy etc. but none of them let you actually remove the infections. I also have McAfee Virus Scan 2005 but that is extremely slow and it doesn't detect many infections. The 'free trial' removers detect from 20 to 650 infections on my computer but McAfee detects none. This happens even though I regularly update my McAfee. I have viruses such as maxifiles which redirects me to search engines if I type in the wrong URL, 180search(spyware, adware, something like that), and something called fast video player, which connects and disconnects my internet connection repeatedly, and dials very expensive dirty numbers. If you have any way of helping me, please do, even though this has nothing to do with this website.

Go to this: http://webroot.com, then go to spysweeper. Then go to free trial. Trust me, it will sweep EVERYTHING off your system (spyware/viruses that is).

did you try norton or mcaffee? those are pretty good

go to download.com and search AVG and download the Free Edition of it. it works great, its free, it'll take care of business and it won't hog system resources like mcafee or norton. You'll also want to try Ad Aware to clean up the minor misses that some programs make. Uninstall all the other spyware removal programs you have...half the time the spyware removal programs that are downloaded are fake...be wise, may the force be with you...if its not, backup what you need, format the hd and reinstall windows. that always does the trick the tedious and hard way =).

ps - keep your anti virus programs updated more frequently, run disk cleanup once a week and stop downloading porn.
