I got this spyware on my comp thats annoying the fuck outta me. It keeps popping up on my system bar with an audible POP sound and saying System intrusion detected blah blah blah... If I try and right click it to close it, it sends me to some fake looking "Spyware Strike" software site.. I can't get rid of it... I have Spyware Doctor.. that doesnt seem to be getting rid of it.. When I google Spyware Strike... NOTHING shows up for this "company"..... I tried emailing a scathing letter to the support e-mail link of this company and I get a failed sending notice... WTF!? I'm getting hella pissed.... How do I get rid of this piece of shit spyware infection.. The Popping sound alone is making me rageful.. It goes off every 4-5 seconds.

You can try either spysweeper from webroot http://www.webroot.com/consumer/downloads/?WRSID=0a5dc9c28b155ee03bc2d3d4197338c1 or you can try hijackthis http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html. Hijackthis requires a little bit of computer knowledge though it requires no installation. If you use hijackthis you can run it and create a report and post the report here or email it to me and I will try to see if I can tell you what to do.

I use spybot and ad-aware.

Make sure you go into your control panel into the add/delete programs and remove anything you don't actually want on your computer.

I use counterstrike. Love that stuff.

Hijackthis will tell all. Go that route.

But dont do a thing until its been posted and a backup created!

yea or just bite the bullet and get norton antivirus 2006 its all i use on my laptop and i have no problems

That's what I use too, they find most problems.

another thing to try

go to start>run and type in msconfig.

Then go to the startup tab.
This lists everytyhing that starts when you boot up the computer. If you see anything you don't know what it is. What I usually do is copy the name of the application into google. You'll usually find out what the application is by doing this. Then if it's something you don't want, just uncheck it.

Tried all that shit no dice... so what I've done is I've just created a 2nd Windows XP acct. Xfered all my crap over here. I have not seen any of the Spyware Strike Propaganda yet. So lets hope for the best.
