Help with minimizing the spyware.
Startup Control Panel is a tiny and free app from here at ZDnet that allows some registry access simplified, useful especially for Win2K users that do not have the MSCONFIG utility. Also running a program such as SpywareGuard will alert you to possible changes to the registry for a browser hijack. Along the lines of the gentleman that mentioned being a repair technician, I too am and had a GateMoo yesterday that was so laden by spyware that clicking a folder or icon to an app did nothing. I worked around the problem and removed a large portion of the spyware and then things improved and now all works fine. (Also wouldn't go online). I use on my personal PC 5 main apps that keep me spyware free almost completely.
Ad-Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
SpywareBlaster
SpywareGuard
Avant Browser

Have a great day, God bless.
