    You need to complete the instructions and attach the logs that were requested. We cannot help you if you don't follow all of the instructions in the READ & RUN ME.

    You're welcome but if you still have Spy Hunter installed you should uninstall it as it is not a recommended program. You should also work thru the below:

    Yes i did uninstall it, but the funny thing is i have AntiVir PE Classic, SpyWareBlaster, AVG Antispyware, and SpyBot Search and Destroy on my computer and all those still let SpyWareIsolator infect me,, so now what i did is i uninstalled AVG Spyware, and Spybot, and bought a year of Prevx 2.0, does this sound like a good set up, because i think if i would of had Prevx 2.0 installed that spyware isolator would of never made it in.

    It is not strange at all. The only one of those that provides active protection is AntiVir and it will not protect against things that antispyware blockers are required for. Especially rogue tools. You should keep Spybot with the Immunization feature since it offers protection (not what is consider active protection) from bad websites.

    I tend to doubt it would have made any difference, but Prevx is a pretty good program.
