lady said spyware dr caught 15, i just got that. she also said that the reason my spyware program didnt catch them is because it only scans windows and what they used scans outside of windows.
now im not the best at computers but i know a little. i have the feeling they were trying to scare me into paying them the $ to remove the shit but i knew i could just find something online for free or fairly cheap.
now, my kaperski says "full scan" i imagine that means windows and everything but the lady said it just scans windows.
can any of u recommend a good spyware/malware/whatever i need to try to get my shit straight?? for now i would like something free only...wont have any cash for about another week and really dont feel like buying someting anyway...thanks in advance. fuck all of you.

OK, go another box and download Malwarebyte's Anti Malware. Save it to a disc or an external drive of some kind.
Use that disc to install Malwarebyte's on the Cootie-infected computer. Don't try to update M yet, just run it.
You can do the same thing with Windows Malicious Spyware Removal Tool and Microsoft Security Essentials, both of which are very effective.
Install and run Malwarebyte's FIRST though!
I have used this method many times to save people's computers and a few of my own.
See what you get and let us know.
