I am still getting an occasional pop up coming through, but nothing like
what was happening before I installed Spy Doctor. I think I'll start
using Firefox as the browser again but would like to keep using OE for
email and newsgroups. Probably a mistake, huh? I could never get used
to Agent or Thunderbird.

Eisboch,

I had a very similar virus, Spyware Doctor would removed 99% of the
Spyware, but that one percent will grow if you don't remove it, even if
you stop using IE. After awhile it will be as bad as it ever was.

Use HijackThis (free):

They will tell you which lines to remove from your start up directory to
completely.

If you post the log in rec.boats, I will take a look and see if I
recognize the spyware lines.


It turns out I had done a "quick scan". I just finished a "full scan" and
it found a bunch of additional items to fix. I'll try it now for a while
and see what happens. So far, no popups. I'll save your post and
suggestion though, just in case.

Starting to feel like a "geek".
