Does anyone know of a spyware file removal utility, that will ID and remove the files without all of the manual removal. I can ID them with this site http://www.surferbeware.com/ but their is a lot of work in removing files, when you find that you have 10 different parasites.... Maybe Norton has one.

I tried this one Jack.
It found 49 different files of spyware and cookies. One of them was Gator which i thought i had deleted a long time ago. Now it's gone. http://www.stop-sign.com/?cm=0&lng=enu&prod=stopsign&inf=09f08072&src=eanth_ctrl_pnl.394&venid=overture4&num=11&d=1&ov=0.0.1.3533&ver=scan.3533&ui=mgr_jnw&geo=-6:00_USA_850&b=ss&sdl=emn gr.394.c01&id_vlz=48c8c4a0cd6f11d7b884444553540000&tsid=2&pg=%26mgr_spin%26mgr_jnw100&rfx=na&cv=ui

Wayne...ouch! I test drove that Stop-sign software and it was the biggest load of cr*p I ever had the despleasure of trying to remove.

It was invasive and overbearing. Trying to remove it was worse. I don't recommend it to anybody, thank God for Norton cleansweep.

My votes go to Spybot and adaware also. Although, for those who are familiar with Spybot, it locks up on me about halfway through scanning. Any suggestions, or is it just this old clunker I'm pushing?

Sy-bot!

I just installed it and it fixed my registry problems which had windows explorer all screwed up. Also has a "immunize" feature to block out some known undesirables.
