estovlo2 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 When I scan my computer using Norton Anti-Virus, it says I have about 80 forms of adware. When I click delete, it deletes about 5 and the rest stay. Next to the ones that were not removed, it says "delete failed." Does anyone know how to delete them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 I never liked Norton. Go to download.com and look for adaware, it works very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petey21 1 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 Also try Spybot Seek & Destroy. Yeah, give this one a try too, I use both Ad-Aware and Seek & Destroy, the latter sometimes finds things that Ad-Aware missed, so I run them both to be on the safe side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Using the firefox browser helps too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 Spybot has a nice real-time memory resident bit that prevents changes from being made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
