    Hi everyone,

    I was just recently infected with a HUGE amount of spyware (Don't ask me how, this is my Sister's computer). Anyways, there was icons popping up on the desktop every so often, different toolbars coming up on their own, and favorites were being autoinstalled.

    So, after much work to download Spybot, I managed to get rid of MOST of the stuff (I think at least).

    One thing that I haven't been able to get rid of is a little option under the "tools" menu of IE (v.6). It's just an option that says: "Your PC is infected with Spyware - click here to fix your PC" Upon clicking it I'm directed to a www.spydeleter.com. Now I'm not sure if this is legitimate, but I'm pretty sure something crapped up the browswer.

    Also, There's been a huge influx of Folders in my "Program Files" too. Is there a way I can clean up all of the junk that got added?

    Please help!!
