Sometimes Spybot-Search&Destroy does not remove the threats coz when I restart my Computer and Scan again some threats will still be displayed!
I have some threats that have been on my PC for months! Never got deleted for real! any help?
Thanks

Use AdAware in conjunction with Search and Destroy. I've ran into the same problem where both scanners couldn't remove the spyware but using both in conjunction seemed to work.

What you mean? in conjunction?

lol I use linux in a Virtual PC, but will never be my main OS!! its too complicated with those commands! and only a few programs work with it! and it seems that my sound card is not compatible with linux :mad:

Install them both and do a full scan with each. This should take care of your problems. Also, make sure you do an update right after installing. I've noticed that the latest dat files aren't always with the installation.

Yeah thats what I do but Adaware deletes what he finds while Spybot deletes them but after a restart they will come back again! well now never mind I found AVG Anti-Spyware it Rocks!! as soon as I installed it it found a backdoor... a scan and found 16 bad things.. now everything runs smooth!

You can download Linux? I thought you had to like buy a different kind of drive for your computer and install it physically.

Nope, you can download all kinds of flavors of linux and install them on your existing hardware. Use this to download: http://www.linux.org/dist/

You must be kidding right? Linux is the best FREE OS, you can download it or order it on a CD for FREE!!
I use it, its very good I must say, coz Windows crash, Linus never crashed for me, but its not my main OS!
