Need help

[StevenDavis 112]

Right, I've got this mad thing called 'Vista Antispyware 2010'. First of all, it's a complete and utter cunt. It blocks me from using the Internet etc and keeps alerting me about all these fucking problems. Secondly, I have no idea how to get rid of it and it's fucking annoying me.

Help.

Tried that Pedro, tried downloading it, comes with Spyware Doctor, scans it, but doesn't actually get rid of it, and I don't actually know how to delete it manually.

Which one did you download mate? Each site will have a different automatic removal tool. Try this: http://remove-malware.net/how-to-remove-vi...e-anti-spyware/ (link at the bottom)

Or one on here: http://removal-tool.com/vista-antispyware-2010/

I'd be surprised if one or the other doesn't work.

Not sure if this will apply, but it probably runs at start up. It's worth going to Start --> Run --> type "msconfig" without the "". Go to the "startup" tab, then disable all. Anything Windows needs will be reinstated on your next boot, anything you miss (you won't miss much) you can go back into msconfig and reinstate (utorrent, anything like that).

Good luck

Fog mate, I said I don't know how to delete it manually, that's all gibberish to me!

[bluepeter 5,627]

fog, I'm guessing he's not happy playing in the registry...

How do I do that on Vista, cause I can't see the 'Run' option.

Just type it in at the bottom of the Start menu. Run the removal fix first though
