I got hit by adware popups just after Christmas. I used Spyware, Adaware and Spy Doctor but the problem persists. Norton Antivirus has found 10 "low-risk" problems but there is no way to erase them in that program. I checked in Windows Explorer and all directories were started on Dec 29! and are not there on my laptop.
The files are (according to Norton):
C:/Program Files/Bulls Eye Network/bin/adv.exe
within windows\System 32\mac80ex.idf
C:/Program Files/Bulls Eye Network/bin/adx.exe
within windows\System 32\mac80ex.idf
C:/Program Files/Bulls Eye Network/bin/bargains.exe
within windows\System 32\mac80ex.idf
Windows/System 32/javexlum.vxd
within windows\System 32\netut80ex.vxd
Windows/System 32/msexreg.exe
within windows\System 32\netut80ex.vxd
Windows/System 32/mqexdlm.srg
within windows\System 32\netut80ex.vxd
Windows/System 32/msbe.dll
within windows\System 32\mac80ex.idf
Windows/System 32/exdl.exe
within windows\System 32\netut80ex.vxd
Windows/System 32/exul.exe
within windows\System 32\netut80ex.vxd
\Windows\wupdsnff.exe
I sent these to Spy Doctor after a malware scan but they haven't yet figured out the problem, only to tell me it is a Bulls Eye
Questions:
As Norton has identified them, how can I get the program to delete or quarantine them (I can only skip them in the next scan according to the message)?
Are there any programs that will remove them?
Can I delete them manually (I'm not too skilled about that except to right click and delete)?
The adware eliminated my capability to do a System Restore and stopped the block capability on Google. I've been using Mozilla to avoid the pop-ups on IE.
Thank you
