ahh... the perils of the internet. i'm just recording my battle against some annoying spyware on board one of my systems, which had lasted for the past few days. i'm hoping it'd ended. i'd been running my antivirus from grisoft, spybot search & destroy, ad-aware, and spyware doctor. i think i find the most reliable to be a combo of spybot and grisoft's free antivirus still.
spyware doctor, and lavasoft's ad-aware, were telling me nothing's up with my system when apparently i know there is. my internet explorer "Page Not Found" page is showing some stuff that don't belong originally. what i had finally done was run a scan with spybot on startup of windows. the other spyware scanners couldn't do that. and i could set it to the highest priority and hence halts other activities with it. that done, i think it finally got culled. for now at least. looks like i'm not that up to par with my skills afterall. maybe it never did.
overall today wasn't a good day. not too good at all...
