    Ok, so a few days ago, using my Spyware Doctor, I noticed a bunch of Spyware Files Called "Web_Rebates or Top Rebates" and there were about 15-20 of them. I deleted them thinking they'd go away. Then on Hijack this I notcied a BHO and a few other things that were operating using the name "Web_Rebates". I clicked fix on all of them. I found a file in my C: drive called Web_Rebates, and I deleted it. The Next day, I went back on and found all of it came back! I did everything again, played a game, and five minutes later all the spyware was back the file was back they were open in Hijack this again and an error popped up that said "A malignant process has been detected. 'Web_Rebates or TopRebates.' It is suggested you close this program before continuing. I close it and its back two minutes later. I can't find any way to get rid of it...Has anyone had this problem before and can anyone help? And if anyone can help me get rid of a twaintech thunking server (Thunks me with the twaintech adware) that would be helpful too. (They also keep re-appearing.) THanks in advanced.

    The first step is not using HijackThis. You should always check Add/Remove Programs first for an uninstall. So do that for Web_Rebates and TopRebates. If still having a problem after that, please follow all the steps in this Sticky thread < READ ME FIRST: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal >

    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.

    See this on Twain-Tech: http://pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/t/twain-tech.asp

    After doing all that we will see if a HijackThis log is required. Do not post one unless asked?
