I am trying to resolve an issue on spyware/adware on a
user's computer. I have updated and ran Spybot, Ad-Aware,
and CWShredder, and I still get the popups (I have the
GOogle toolbar installed, I didn't like the Yahoo
Toolbar). I am out of options. When I run Ad-Aware it
stops repsonding at the registry
CLSID /{934A9523-A3CA-4DC5-ADA0DGD95D979421}. This is
located in the HKCR\CLSID. This string represents the
DriectPlay8Address, and I don't want to delete that as I'm
unfamiliar with editing the registry. PLEASE HELP. The
user machine is now popping up adds WITHOUT launching the
browser. I've never seen this before, and can't find
another solotuion. Thanks!
