Hi, hope some genius can help me. I have WindowsXP, IE7 and I have spyware running that I can't get rid of. I tried 2 weeks ago to download Microsoft Malware Removal Tool, Spybot, AdAware and could not download them, I got error msgs after each attempt that they were "not a valid Win32 application". Since yesterday afternoon I have been trying to run Microsoft Safety Scanner, hours at a time to download, never completed...I got an error msg 0x08402805, which indicates that my internet connection was interrupted, but it wasn't. Since this morning, I have successfully run Microsoft Clean up Scan, Microsoft Tune up Scan and have been trying for the last 10 hours to download the Protection Scan (these three make up the "Safety Scan", I just thought it would be easier one at a time) but the Protection Scan gets to about 70% and won't go any further, same error msg every time 0x08402805. I've tried all the suggestions I can find except dickering with my registry, none work. I need the spyware gone because I process sensitive info constantly...Please help
