question about Ad-Aware and spyware

[underguy77]

I just recently learned about spyware while I was d-loading Kazaa so I dont know too much about it. Anyways, when I d-loaded Kazaa ...i somehow d-loaded 2 other things ...one as all porn and one turned out to be more spyware. anways, so I downloaded Ad-Aware and when I ran it it said there where 112 folders worth of that spyware shit. So....i clicked to get rid of the spyware but it said that it cannot get rid of a certain file called CNBABE b/c its either in use of its write proof. Well, I restarted the computer and made sure everything was closed so nothing was running...and I ran Ad-Aware again and the same message came up. I did a file search and found nothing by that name. So my 1st question is....anyone know how to get rid of this? I know a little about computers but cannot figure out this one

my other question is why dos AdAware find a certain number of file and deletes them, and the next day u run it it finds more? Is it just missing these things or what?

thanks guys for any info

peace

Look at this link http://www.az13.net/help/startup3.htm

You will have to scroll down some to find CNBABE b/c. It looks like its from kazza.

Not sure why they keep showing back up. Adaware just came out with a newer version,might update if you have not already.

Thanks for the link bro. But it just sent me back to d-load ad aware from lavasoft.....and i just downloaded it 2-3 days ago.

cant believe Kazaa tho.....the damn program didnt even download, just spyware and porn

ah well....anyone else have any ideas?

Ad-Aware also looks for cookies from places like doubleclick which track what web pages you surf etc. So if you do almost any web surfing Ad-Aware is going to keep finding new things.

Also, if you have Kazaa (either lite or normal) and you get rid of all the spyware Kazaa won't run anymore since it looks for a certain file before running. I can't remember which one it is but I think its a .dll.
