moring guys!
Been a while since i've posted in this part of pprune as managed to keep my comp virus and ad ware free until about a week ago when this interesting little bugger surfsidekick showed itself in my program files and throws adverts and the usual.
Now doing a search on the net for it i came across this page,
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...l=surfsidekick
Now i've followed it best i can and to no avial can i get rid of this fecker!
In a strop of pure frustration i decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows to see if it will get rid of it. And well it didn't.
What i've now got is a all the standard desktop stuff (except 1 program -sony ericsson phone manager which the icon is still there but nothing happens and i cant get rid of it!), empty my documents etc but no hard space and my laptop is got 60gig drive. Wondering why i started to dig in deep into all the files on my comp and found all the old stuff there and several double copies of other stuff. Its almost like i've got two operating versions of xp on the drive.
Now, as the song says "rip it up and start again"! is an option so i would willing to do that but need to know how as obviously i cant! doh!
Or if anyone has managed to get rid of this before let me know
its a pain but thanks in advance for looking into this for me!
