Run both adaware and spybot. One picks up things the other doesn't. -------------

take out your shotgun, trace the source of the spyware, and go shoot the bastard(s) who made it!
I have heard a lot of good stuff about AD-Aware and SpyBot, but never tried them.. might be worth a try though |

Spyware used to be like Vampires - you had to let them in before they could start sucking your blood. Lately though, there's stuff that you can get just by visiting a web page constructed certain way. Make sure you get the MS security updates released over the past 6-8 weeks. -------------

That's why you have to use more than one spyware removal tool. Also helps to run them more than once. -------------

Did a google for search-all-fast and came up with some stuff. You may want to check out these links http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=39520 - http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=3 9520 EDIT: Apparently this is one of the nastier ones. The grkiy.dll is a random name. -------------

It still exists... although i discovered the name of the files that infected my system causing the change of the Default Home and Search Pages (netlf.exe, addan32.exe), i think this problem is solved after stopping these services and deleting the files (hope they are not generated again)... but the popups and smart tags problems still exist. A program called Spy Sweeper by Webroot is the best till now.
