Majorgeeks is just a mirror that helps out the distribution of the spybot software. You can come down from your ultra paranoid level.

 

As for the original question, I assure you it cannot be done. If I had physical access to your machine, no matter what you did I could still continue using it.

yes i know its a mirror. just wondering why the majorgeeks didnt have reference to safer networking. and neither did the main spybot site have anything about the patch.

gives us the name of the person who wrote the update, this is the same person who wrote the original program.

I downloaded adaware...but when I try and delete critical files, it stops on the loading bar, and I have to restart my computer. Does anyone know what the problem is?

maybe it didn't really stop? it could seem to have frozen when it was really just taking a long time (especially if you have lots of files to be deleted).

 

btw, who is that in your avatar?

ecoli probally some form of malware is stopping Ad-Aware in its tracks.

 

I advise that you download HijackThis: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

 

And post your log at: http://www.spywareinfo.com

 

Or if you are allowed you could post it here and I could have a look through

I have never heard of malware disabling adaware. That seems very unlikely.

i ve heard of such things. some strains of CoolWebSearch do that. (or similar, like not allowing to go to the mirrors providing anti-adware software)

Yep, it is very true the nasty Spyware L2M, CWS etc, etc. Can stop scanners, stop people going to sites that help with spyware etc, etc. I strongly recommend that ecoli sorts it out.

 

If you get a HijackThis log I can sort all the spyware out.
