Trailed my way from Livejournal through your S_Y_C2 post :D I’m totally not a fan of AdAware and have since lost faith in the program way back early 2001 or 2002; the program just doesn’t catch any thing well and whatever it does catch doesn’t really remove it problem/for good.

I instead have since used this guide (which is nearly the same as the method I’ve been using for years):

Primary steps (I usually skip this and go straight to the OS selections [I'm not a fan of CCleaner either])

Steps for WinXP (I skip using SUPERAntiSpyware, I’m not uploading a log nor do I find it necessary)

In addition, I usually boot the computer in Safe Mode before I run MGTools (and sometimes ComboFix) and I also run SmitFraudFix by S!Ri, great program that removes the ever so difficult SmitFraud. This must be run in Safe Mode to prevent SmitFraud from activating at startup.

BTW! Trailed my way from Livejournal through your S_Y_C2 post :D
