 On-Line Spyware Scanner Required Pls...
Do not mention Ad-Aware. That interferes with my anti-virus programs.
Or Spybot. That's slow to open up on my pc and recently refused to update itself so I removed it.
I have been informed of free spyware on-line scanners before but I've always ignored them. Now I need one and I'm stranded.
Help please...

Ad-Aware and Spybot are the two best you can get. It's odd that you have trouble with them.

And try disabling your anti-virus before running ad-aware. Maybe that will enable you to properly run it.

vicnetel, your computer is so screw up you should just reinstall clean and do what WE say... all the right software was recommended to you through out all your problems with file transfer, email, ftp, virus scan, popup blocker and all that... yet it failed on your computer...
why? certainly not the programs but whatever crap that is on your computer... format, install, get it right.

U've often thought about getting a new laptop to get over my probs but don't totally see the point. I am only gonna play around with the new thing and screw it up again.
The current installation was done not too long ago. I'm sticking with it as I have made changes such as new e-mail addresses, pop-up blockers and ISP's.
Am also on spyware mailing lists.
I never give up when I am determined.
Sorry for all the grief I give but I am always on the look-out for newer faces with something to give not the regulars of this site.

Point noted.
I will re-install both disabling my anti-viruses upon installation and during scannings.

You need to reinstall everything. Adware and Spybot are the best 2 applications right now. I run them one after the other (they will freeze if you run both at the same time) immediately after I start my PC, with the Antivirus disabled.
And like someone said, you need to reinstall everything on your PC to fix all the problems you are having.

I prefer SpyBot S&D over Adaware, but probably only presonal preference.
If your system is not able to be restored - try running Anti-Trojan as well.
