Instant Access

[Mary]

I turned on my computer today and found an icon on the
bottom and it's called instant access. I pulled it up and
it's a little box to pick cash, checks or "babes". I
don't know how it got there. I went into my control panel
and tried to delete it and it won't let me. It just keeps
trying to let me download it. I can't get rid of it. It
says it's Microsoft Instant Access. I don't think it is
but that's what it says. I know my boyfriend isn't in to
this stuff. I KNOW he isn't. He gets porn in his other
emails and asks me to emty it all the time. He doesn't
even use the computer that much. I also get these Juno
SPYWARE bugs now that I didn't get before. I get
sometimes 9 or 10 at a time until I have to shut my
computer down. I hate to say it but I might have to shut
it down all together if it doesn't stop. But that's not
your problem either, lol.... Thanks. If you could help
with the Instant Access I would appreciate it. Mary

Hi Mary,

Search and destroy any installed SpyWare/malware/adware:
Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans
your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware
components and lets you remove them safely. After installing
Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed
spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several
times to clear them all.

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it
prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is
a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit"
for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the
installation of any of them from a webpage.
