Mary,
There are step by step instructions listed above, with each instruction there is a ‘learn to do this’ link. I’m afraid your going to have to try to stop being illiterate and actually bother yourself with learning something new.

Just wanted to say thanks, the program downloaded without me even knowing and has sicne been popping up saying I have all these trojans (which I know I don’t and redirecting me to funky sites.
Norton didn’t even warn me about this “WinsSpwareProtect” thing so I was furious.
Anyway I followed each of your instructions and it’s gone bye bye now so thanks a bunch, very useful free steps that I had to do manually after paying €120 for Norton which should have done it all for me.
Aw well, thanks anyway

Does anyone know where to report this “Win Spyware Protect” company? I tried to find it under this name at the Better Business Bureau to report, but its not listed under that. I also would like to track down the actual corporation name (or officers) so I can report it to the Secretary of State (and possible serve their registered agent with a lawsuit for all of the damage these guys have done to my computer.) Any info would be appreciated!

I don’t know if this thing got smarter but it won’t let me do any of the instructions given. It says Access Denied by Service Administrator or this function has been disabled by the Administrator. Any Help?

Tim Says
Austin we would be interested in joining your lawsuit against this company (or starting a mob with torches and pitchforks).

Corby — sounds like you are not logged in as an “administrator” on your computer. You need to log off and log back in with an account that has administrative capabilities, or else run the program (if you can) by using the “Run As” feature — hold shift while you right click the program you’re trying to open, then tell it you want to run the program as an administrator. Good luck.

Along with Winspyware, my task manager keeps saying it’s been disabled by my administrator. I also lost my programs menu from the start button - the one with accessories, tools, etc. I don’t know how to get those back. I am extremely non-savvy with computers, so if anyone can give me SIMPLE solutions to these problems, I would appreciate it. I have run SpySweeper several times, but 2 viruses continue to fail the quarantine process.

This program actually disabled my task manager. Wow, does anyone know how to enable it?
