    cruise over to cnet home page and search for
    how to remove spyware
    or
    out smart spyware
    or google for a work around
    another way would be to boot into safe mode or use system restore,or simply remove the HDD and install it as a secondry hdd on the good comp and use the good comps spyware detector to scan the problem hdd,you'll need to do a virus scan also and no the good comp won't get infected

    google for spyware gaurd , spyware blaster and download microsofts new antispyware app called defender ,all 3 give real time protection tho to me it sounds more like a virus

    Right so somthings playin with your start up, try going into safe mode and seeing whats going on in there.

    Tap F8 as the comp boots, choose safe mode from the menu that appears, then log onto the Administrators acount, click start>Run>msconfig and clikc the start up tab, tell me what you see in there write all of the entires down and post them here...i'll tell you what to disable.

    Also going into safe mode with networking and running a trend micro or panda scan will clean you up a bit.

    -->http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

    or

    -->http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

    BTW i assume your doing this from somewhere else so thats why i am not telling you to post a HJT log yet.
