i have something putting shortcuts to stupid websites on my desktop and menu and taskbar @ every boot of my system...
1. i cannot recognize anything procces in tack manager
2. there's nothign in start up folders in my menu or "all users" profile
where can i look for this adware ...??? please don't recommend any commercial solutions...
thanx for your time
How about scanning with Adaware or Spybot.......
Putting links on your desktop.... you install any software the day this happened?.. Most times when you install any software, it puts some kind of crap on your desktop... umm.. thats all I could think of....
i know what you're talking 'bout but the links appear on EVERY reboot... that's not install.... that's spyware ... what is adaware and spybot
Adware is just a software to get rid of all of that crap that you keep getting on your desktop it pretty good. I think it something that gets in your regedit or something like that. I know expert but if u get a program it will make it alot easier to grt rid of.

You will have to reinstall kazaa they have spyware programs that are needed but what you can do is set your firewall to block the spyware. They include these spyware programs to pay for you using kazaa for free.
If I uninstall my Kazaa, will my "My Shared Folder" will be removed too?

I dunno much about KaZaa, but Broderbund Printmaster 10 puts spyware on a system. AdAware picks up the spyware, but if you delete it Printmaster won't work.
Note to etruscan:
You can get Ad-aware, a free proggy, at
