So, where to begin my tale of woe?

I'm stuck down here in the lovely city of Gregory, Texas on indefinite assignment away from my wife and daughter until further notice only to return home on weekends (Luckily, we work 4/10 out here in the field).

I tweaked my sciatic nerve and my hip feels like there's an iron rod at an obtuse angle rubbing against my spine (But the interesting numbness in the front of my thigh is a bonus).

My dinner this evening consisted of a "Fresh Express" salad in a disposable bowl with Starkist Hickory Smoked tuna "pieces" thrown in for taste.

I've finished a bottle of Little Penguin Shiraz and coupled it with a few "Simply Sleep" tabs in the hope I'll sleep through the night (But, there's remanats of a six pack of Lone Star tall boys in the mini fridge, so that's all good).

My laptop caught the sniffles while I was in the home office, and if I could find out who the sorry bastard who invented "Cool Search" and annoying hijacking of my browser to listen to some skank drone on and on about a diet patch is, I would revel with glee watching them succomb to to asphyxiation whilst I tightly gripped their throat.

So, my trouble is, do I watch Mel Gibson drive fast and smack the shit out of nomad bikers in "Mad Max", or, do I watch the ever so scrumptios Jennifer Garner try as hard as she can to wriggle out of her Catholic school girl outfit while kicking the fuck out of some enemy of the US on TV at the lovely Comfort Inn?

Download CWShredder and find some good porn.

Tried CWShredder and I evidently have different registry keys perpetuating this crap than they eliminate.

I swear, spammers/virus writes/web hijackers deserve nothing more than to be strung up and let the crows eat them alive.

Have you tried Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware too? They've folded alot of CWS into themselves since CWS stopped updating.

Yep, I use both upon startup and the thing keeps perpetuating itself.

I found instructions on the web about identifying the reg keys and renaming them so you can delete them, but I don't have those key pathways. Must be something new. Our IT guys saw/checked it out and I'm getting a new laptop this week rather them format the entire drive.

But back to the topic at hand.

Jen Garner (Alias)/Mel Gibson (Mad Max)?

Bad dubbing trumps just about anything.

If you're feeling lucky you could use HijackThis! and just take out whatever looks hinky.

Max is fixing to off Johnny The Boy to avenge the Goose, so it's all good. "Jesus, you can't kill me! Not for some dead guys boot!"

I have Alias on DVR

I tried HijackThis! but to no avail. Probably the Indian and not the arrow that's at fault...

If you're running XP or ME, make sure you disable the system restore, or the spyware will never go away. :)

Man, I don't know.

I'd go with Alias myself, only because she's hot.

I never could understand how people think the answer to getting rid of stuff on there PC is to download more programs on the same PC they are using, :lmao what does it matter now? I am to late, The sleeping pills had to kick in by now. Anyone see that cool show about the NASA Moon landing being fake on channel 57 Natural Geographic?

1369, I had lots of problems with my W2K Pro too. I tried all kinds of shit (adaware, spysweeper, this, that and the other - not to mention my Regedit sledgehammer technique) and nothing worked; then I stumbled across WinPatrol. WinPatrol is the shit. Once installed, it required some manual labor (and some scientific wild-ass guessing) to go and stop unwanted processes from running at start-up, plus shutting down unnecessary processes (because until I did, I had some crazy stuff that kept spawning new crap). Very irritating to say the least.

WinPatrol fixed everything, and it's free. www.winpatrol.com
