    i am trying to get rid of Surf Sidekick spyware from my computer,
    followed the steps, downloaded Brute Force,
    but when im trying to download the "sidekickFix.bat" it would download it but would not show the actual file itself:rolleyes: . Tried clicking it on my "downloaded files box" , and it says <b>sidekickFix.bat does not exist, may have been removed, renamed or deleted since it has been downloaded</b>. dont know if it is because of the browser (Mozilla Firefox) or that its just a deadlink..

    anybody know how i could get the file so i may be able to finally get rid of this spyware:mad: ?

    The site that the batch file is stored on seems to be down.

    Please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
    • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
    • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
    • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
    • Bitdefender - from step 6
    • Panda Scan - from step 6
    • HijackThis
