Located this:  http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

and this: http://pcpitstop.ibforums.com/axslinger/helpfiles/bogus.htm  but have not found uninstall information yet.  You can not remove it from add/remove programs?  I will keep looking and someone will be along with knowledge of that junk.  Good Luck, pskelley

I have tried Adware 6.0 and removed some of the malware i had but could not get rid of spy hunter.

Also tried the Add/remove and did not work, do you think if i use a different browser such as mozilla firefox would actually work?

Thanks

Lots of the regular posting anti-malware experts on this board have moved to pastures new for various reasons. You may find it better to find another support site to assist you.

Please go to this link and choose one of the websites on the left of the page.
Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals
As you can see they all work together in cleaning malware (Virus, Spyware and adware).

To help you choose from that list

TomCoyotes contains the anti-malware school - Classroom.
SpyWareInfo contains the anti-malware school - BootCamp.
Net-Intergration is the support site of Spybot S&D.
Lavasoft Support is the support site of Ad-aware.
Wilders Security has since stopped hijackthis log support due to the lack of experianced helpers.
Others that I would recommend Zerosrealm, Subratam.org, SpyWare BeWare and ComputerCops, but generally all those on that list will have experts to help you.
Texruss and myself are Teachers at The TomCoyote Forum.

There are still some knowledgable people left posting here at Dell, so you may still get help from them.

I wish you all the best at getting your computer clean.
