i run adaware or spybot (unsure of which, as i have both, and i don't want to run them again to find out which one) and it tells me it must reboot and run at startup to remove certain spyware. I do this, and when i select remove spyware (after rebooting) it displays "INCORRECT PARAMETERS" and locks up the system... ***....
If someone has another spyware removal tool i should try or anything that can help in the next half hour, please let me know.
BTW this problem is not with my comp... it's a customers... here are the specs

Win98
Intel P!!! 600MHz
192 megs of sdram
20gb HDD
DVD-ROM
56k modem
NVidia TNT2 128-bit 8MB graphics

You need to restart and run it in safe mode.........the spyware you have is running in the background causing your lock up..........safe mode scan will fix this

a virus possibly?

 

[KSIMP88]

running safemode sounds like a plan... i'll do that first

 

[KSIMP88]

well, i went through safemod, and it got me nowhere... the program was adaware. i saved a list of the files that it could not remove and removed them manually from DOS. now i have no spyware, according to ad-aware. thx guys
