Nadalitian Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I have no clue how this got on my computer, it was probably my dad. Anyhow, whenever I search for something, I see the results. Then about few hundredths of a second later the "Find *keyword* on Webcrawler.com" "Find *keyword* on 2002Search.com" results appear, right after the first result. Kaspersky catches *something*, but can't exactly remove it. I remember when I used Ad-aware and I found few files in Temp Internet Folder that were classified as spywares, and I deleted it. Then the results stopped showing up. Nowadays Ad-aware can't do crap, and SpyBot S&D can't detect it also.

figgy Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) If you have Windows XP SP2 RC1 goto the Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Addons and disable everything you think could be spyware.

TomUsher Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) Use a spyware removal tool like Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy edit: oops, just read your post properly and realised you've tried that, sorry about that :) I'll look up some solutions for you Edited March 20, 2004 by trefaes Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/150225-advertisements-in-googleyahoo-search-results/#findComment-1863154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I would un-install both ad-aware and spybot, go to the websites, download the newest version and then update the dat files for each. Run a scan and see if it comes up with anything. I was having a pop up problem on one of my machines, adaware and spybot picked up nothing when I scanned for it, but when I downloaded the NEW version of adaware, it found what was causing it.
