Use regedit and look for references to your spyware, then remove then. Use msconfig and look what's running when you boot your computer, and remove all strange stuff. Check your WINNT/WINDOWS or WINDOWS/SYSTEM directories, as well as your PROGRAM FILES directory to check latest executables installed there, and remove every suspicious file.
zack: try adaware. it's a godsend. (at least that's what my friend whom i referred it to told me)
I tried AdAware, didn't work.
But Nath's suggestion worked. I deleted PerfectNav.dll, and all is good now.
I downloaded a trail v. of photoshop. That will tie me over for a while. Anyways... my only question that wasn't really answered was, how to get it more then 80*80 pixels. I know it's possible sence i seen some of them bigger then that (...than again that good be my insanity talking but who knows... :wink: ).
About Kazaa/Kazaa lite, i don't feel like puting my comp ,and risk it.
Use emule. It has supporting communities with e-links (special links for emule/edonkey which begin a new download in the client) so you know that what you are downloading is what you wanted to download. The program itself is open source so if you don't confide you can look at the source. I don't use kazaa anymore.
Quote:You can still download Kazaa Lite...
Not officially.
You can check the product line if you dont believe me.

Quote:I would, but there's no point - the spyware has already inserted itself into my computer, so there isn't much hope of removing Gain Advertising, and PerfectNav "Special Offers".
The stuff that Kazaa puts on your system isnt Spyware. Its called Adware. And I found that i could remove all but one of the adware programs just by going in to add/remove programs.
Try Ulead Gif Animator (4.0).
Kazaa Lite was never "official". It was always an underground project. The people working on Kazaa Lite were ordered to take down their website by Kazaa, but afaik it's still being worked on. (Even though you have to look a little harder for it
)
