okay. my brother got on my mom's computer. he most likely got on a gajillion porn sites and most have...

AD/SPYWARE

eeeek.

well i have about 53mb left on this hardrive. yeah. not a lot. but i can still download programs and install them but everytime i try to run them, they bring up errors and won't load. and it's not all programs that cause errors just the ones that get rid of spyware/adware. the computer has this program called "Anti-Vermins" on it. i tried to run this uninstaller for it. it always caused an "illegal" process or whatever windows calls it. i think that's the main program that is causing all these problems. ugh.

and i was looking at stuff with my mom and topless women popped up. ick.

can anyone help me out? i hope i don't have to manually delete all this stuff. ugh.

Google says this for your Anti-Vermins

The instructions to remove the stuff is in the second post. Basically download program, reboot to safe mode, then run the program.

After you kill that, use Adaware to scan for spyware and also scan for viruses.

Assuming you get it all nicely cleaned out install firefox and set that to the default browser.

Tell your brother if he wants to go to those sites, use Opera or Firefox since they have fewer security holes so the computer won't get filled with spyware.
