..HI,

I'm using XP Pro and have AVG, Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware all up
and running and have done for some time and keep them up to date. I also
have a firewall.

BUT..today I have been constantly irked by a browser Hijacker (INetSpeak)
and something called DLHelper.exe. I've had to run my spy killer equipment
3 times already today to annihilate them and manually remove some registry
entries connected to them. How come they're still getting through despite
my barricades?!

I've cleared all my page histories, emptied cache/cookies, done everything I
can think off but these damn things keep sneaking in? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Blurbubble
 
From the bottom of your post, it looks like your virus
definitions haven't been updated since June. Lots of
fruitcakes out there since then..

No, it was up dated on the 6th Nov!! (reverse date American style I think
i.e. 11/6!!) I check for updates daily :o)

Cheers anyway,
