Trash won't empty after running uniblue Speed up my PC
It appears I tracked it down to Ad-Aware SE.
Years ago I proved one of their updates installed a hijacker.
They fixed it.
Now, it appears they are doing something again.
first sign: Trash won't empty, says can't delete wondows.
second sign: SSID is transmitted, even though it is disabled in the router.
Third sign: E-Mailer was found.
You can't fix it by uninstallig.
You can't even fix it by reinstalling a fresh system with a 'Quick Format"
The only way to get rid of it, is to Reformat your drive, with the long format, NOT QUICK!
Then reinstall everthing.
I have verified this on 4 computers, and process of elimination!
You can't fixit with securitytaskmanager1.6
At first I tracked it down to one of programs.
Audio Shell
Spybot
Ad-AwareSE
100% sure one of thoses three, 98% sure, it is Ad-AwareSE
I would love verification of this.
