On-Access Providers

[Mike79]

Thats what happened last time I did it, dont really want to try it again.  I dont want to have to uninstall and reinstall it again....

This way we'll never know what is going on in your system... But, it's up to you, of course, troubleshooting requires time and patience 

I dont understand what you want me to do...  I uninstalled and reinstalled it once to fix it.  Are you saying you want me to stop the providers again and see if they will start back up this time??

Your other security related anti-spyware tools, such as:

If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it.
1. Ad-Aware
2. Spybot Search and Destroy
3. Spywareblaster Don't install this until you are clean.
4. Download HijackThis.zip - HiJackThis Tutorial
5. Ewido Security Suite

My system is clean and was clean.  I have adaware, run avast and double check for virus' at least one a week with trend micros online scanner.  Im also behind a hardware firewall.

I will download and install some of the other ones if you think i need like 3 or 4 diff adware/spyware programs...

I have all of the ones I mentioned above, HiJackThis is an analysis tool that you can see exactly what is running on your system, so I only use it if I have any suspicion of a background process, etc. on my system.

No one anti-spyware/adware program is likely to have every different signature/detection so it is a combination of different detection signatures. Ewido is more geared up to trojan hunting, but has a number of different functions in the suite.
