So yes, if anyone knows how to get rid of this, it would GREATLY be APPRECIATED.

Replies stayaway03 Posted at 10:07 pm on Sep. 15, 2005 ok, so I used the AIMFix one.  It did indeed find things and says it cleaned them.  My system is still acting weird though.  I've also run ad-aware and a virus scan, ad-aware found things, not thing serious, but it did find things.  But the virus scan found nothing.  I made a new post about my virus, which can be found here........http://www.golivewire.com/forums/topic.cgi?topic=184974 (I know that you're not supposed to make a post directing to other posts, but this just seems logical, somehow.  If you don't like it, please don't delete it, just message me and tell me to take off the link, because there's nothing wrong with the first part of this) JoJo Posted at 2:50 pm on Sep. 14, 2005 Quote: from unknown figure at 10:38 pm on Sep. 14, 2005 go on www.runehq.com and scroll down the menu on the left then download ad-aware tht removes spyware and things like this it might work The Forum "before you post" faq Has direct links to virus and spyware removal tools. ad-aware is one of the better ones. unknown figure Posted at 2:38 pm on Sep. 14, 2005 go on www.runehq.com and scroll down the menu on the left then download ad-aware tht removes spyware and things like this it might work JoJo Posted at 2:32 pm on Sep. 14, 2005 Was it something to do with buddypicture.net ?
