I'm hoping my norton internet security will keep my **** safe. It usually catches all the viruses. I just wish i could get rid of this dam spyware thats stuck in my registry, that my antivirus warns me about 25 times a day. :surrender

Sorry about that, I just know that 99.99% of the people on these forums use some sort of IM service...thought I'd pass along the warning!!!

I got that, plus Hijack this, and also run adaware. My hijack this will get rid of the 3 main spywares I have, but i cant identify them in my registry. If your not careful you can wipe out needed files. i've done it before LOL. Not a big problem but just a nuisance. The spyware tries to access my computer and my norton denies it. It just tells me when it tries. all the time . LOL.

I got 3 major spyware programs that have infiltrated my registry. one of them is this one. you have to go through an act of God to rid your computer of them.

1. thnall1ac.exe.
