You know half the shit IS spyware. Install the garbage and you pay the price. The only spyware program worth anything is "Hijack This". You dont install anything. Just place it somewhere on your drive and run it when you suspect anything. Instead you installed some garbage that destroyed the registry. Good luck, YOU'RE FUCKED. I dont put any of that shit on my computer. Hijack This is all I got for viruses and spyware. Even installing something from a reputible company like Norton is a disaster. Norton stuff is dafe as far as viruses and spyware, but it will slow you computer down like a turtle. If you got the drive formatted to NTFS, say goodbye to everything. If it's Fat32, you can boot from a dos floppy and save data, but will lose the long file names. So how much did you pay for that spyware that ruined your computer? Once you install any of that shit, all you can do is reformat it and reinstall the OS, or toss the computer in the trash and get another hobby.
