If you have experienced system problems due to spayware infestation, what did
you do to correct the problem and fix the operating system/internet? I have
Spyware Stomer and Spybot but these don't affect the operating system. I
have tried delteing all temp intenet files/cookies etc. Still get websearch
popup which I have uninstalled. etc.etc.etc. the list goes on. I need a fix
for the ME-OS. Any body got one???

The easiest thing to do might be the most drastic. But that is to reformat
and start from scratch. It's a pain but you will go nuts trying to get rid of
this crap.
ALso, I find a really good program is System Mechanic 5 Pro. It's got
everything.
I tred Spybot, SpyChecker and a bunch of others. They all seemed to disable
or remove the stuff but I kept having problems. Sys Mech was reccommended by
someone in Comp USA and I'm very happy with it.
But anyway, starting with a clean slate might be your best bet.
