So many rants from me lately, or so it seems. I rarely post in here.

But this is what's been bothering me, and please, I need help.

I have downloaded Ad-Ware to get rid of all this weird Spyware that's mainly ceom from Xupiter something.

After doing a full-system search I find many many files with Xupiter and Gator crap that I just can't stand. After deleting all the files I could, it said it couldn't delete the Xupiter main file... That's a bummer on my part because this thing lays down the pop-ups like nobody's ever seen.

Could someone PLEASE help me before I go even more insane than I already am?

You can clean some of Xupiter's stuff up through the site.

Try Spybot Search and Destroy, you should be able to find it on Google or something.

Also sometimes if you rename a file that you cant delete, you can then delete it.

Thank you Panda, and Tracon. I owe you guys one.

I think I got everything set. Again, I can't express how relieved I am!

It's hard to express emotion online :/

Spy bot works great. You can download it off http://www.zdnet.com for free. Just go to the download section and search for it.

You should probably install spyware blaster too, it doesn't clean up spyware it prevents it from ever been installed in the first place.
