I am protecting with Defender & Symantec all Sw (OS and IE) is current ---
there are two programs that get flagged guard.tmp (Adware.Look2me) and
solfproc.dll (Spyware.Apropos.C) -but niether Symantec or Defender can
resolve (I get a "delete failed '" message.
The behavior these programs cause are lots of un wanted pop ups (yes - pop
up blocker is set to full strength) Any ideas
thanks
Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case
of non-vendor site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified
or uncompromised. Anyone providing a link to a non-vendors site with a
direct download should not be trusted, the vendors sites are the safest
place to download their application.
No person of sound mind would download files from a hack site that
requires a password to access the unknown files when they are available
directly from the vendors.
Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.
The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.
These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:
