Help! Cannot Get Rid Of Adware

Kaimatsui · 03-11-2008, 02:45 PM

I have been struggling with this for the last few days:

It started after I downloaded a program and ran it by accident, after that the adware started immeadiately, I ran my windows defender, and adaware and that solved the first case. After that a script was asking for permission from my zonealarm to come through, and it had Java in it, so I allowed it. Everything went haywire from there...Now my adaware doesn't even pick up on it when I run through a scan, defender on the other hand does and when I click to remove all it seems as if it does, but then the adware keeps coming back. I even when inside the registry to find the file, but it is nowhere to be found. Anytime I run a full scan on defender it finds it but apparently can do nothing about it: The file that it finds is c:\win32\ttc. When I look through the processes it is nowhere to be found. PLEASE HELP!

P.s I ran I ran my McAfee virus scan through it, and still nada, I think that it is virus I just don't know how to locate and destroy it. And it keeps asking me to download Adobe Flashplayer.
