    i know the title is not specific as you guys like it to be but i seriously have no idea what spyware has taken over my system, all i know is that I cannot get rid of it :(

    Everytime i connect to the internet (i'm on dial-up) everything is okay for the first 5-10 minutes then i start getting redirected to various porn sites, and sex dialers begin to install themselves, and it disconnects me from the internet and I am unable to reconnect until i have removed all the sex dialer information...I have ran ad-aware, spybot, and cwshredder but they don't seem to find anything that deals with this specific bug

    another wierd thing is that when i run cwshredder it tends to find 2 types of spyware (yexe & jksearch) and it says it fixed the problem but when i restart/run the program again the same exact spyware is still there...

    should i run a hijack this log?

    please help, it is very annoying and i don't know what to do, thx all

    It does you no good to remove spyware if the conditions that caused it in the first place are not fixed. Spyware takes advantage of specific security flaws.

    My guess is you need to update your system.
    What OS are you running?
    If you are running XP could you get a friend to burn SP1 onto a disk for you?

    Then run Spybot and Adaware.

    This happened to my uncles computer. Go to the Control Panel and then click on Network Connections and then rite click on the one you are using. Then get the phone number and call up your ISP and make sure that it is really there phone number. Sometimes porn programs and dialers change the number of your dial up service to dial up a porn service and run popups all over the place. also while your in there check to make sure there aren't any other dial up services in your computer.
