Spybot search and destroy

[Pod]

I have been using Spybot, however it has suddenly
disappeared and whenever I go to any spyware removal
website, my browser closes within 3-4 seconds! I have
also been trying to delete Lycos from my Computer without
success. I don't even know how it got on. A message
appears saying it is not possible to delete. I am trying
to delete from programme files.

Additionally, when I am browsing and use a url link, a
search page appears and won't let me access any links.
The web address is http://vgieea.outhost.info/

Please help it's driving me insane.

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow the prompts.

produces here:

so experts tell you what is good and what is malware
HiJack This is a program that simply searches for programs that run
at boot time, and checks for browser plug-ins. The results this
program gives you are generally just informative. Most of the
programs it will come up with are valid programs that you actually
want running. You'll have to go through the results and tell the
program to delete unwanted programs. If you can't figure out what
some of the programs are, don't just delete them, research them
and/or post them so experts can let you know what the program does.
I generally will just type the program name into google which gets
a decent answer pretty quickly.


Try downloading, installing and updating the
spyware removers from the links below. Run both of them.

Spybot S&D

If these don't correct the problem, then get yourself a copy of

BHODemon, available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm .

It does not need installing - simply unzip and run the EXE program.
It is easy to use. It will find the hijackware DLL files, and
give you the ability to disable them.

Hope this helps.
