Help! Adware.Livechat on my PC.
« on: November 24, 2004, 12:41:52 AM »
Hey everyone! I have a problem, my computer has some sort of spyware on it, I ran Ad-Aware SE Personal, and Spybot (which I updated to the lastest) . They don't find anything, after searching the internet (yahoo) I found this site by Symantec: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.livechat.html
It is what I have on my PC, but they only tell you to update THEIR software to fix the problem (thats crazy!). I was happy I found some thing to describe what I have, so I updated my Avast! to the latest versions, and did a full scan, took some time, but it didn't find anything wrong. This is where I am stumped, can anyone please help me out? Thank you  ;D akharold@alaska.net

Some more info on your os and browser would be helpfull first.  Your link suggests manual removal is possible, are you confident to do this?

You could also try posting a Hijackthis log file to give more information.

A quick question here, What makes you so sure that you've got this piece of spyware on your system?
