For some reason,one of our computers we just received from DELL had some spyware on it that Spybot didn't detect, but AdAware did. Nevertheless, I keep on having the program delete it, but the next day it comes back. Anyone know what this is?

Thanks,

You possibly have a trojan which is reinstalling the spyware. Run a virus check. (I use Trend Micro's HouseSearch to check my computer for anything that's very new - it's a free service, run a Google search).

Nope, ran Mcafee anti-virus, found nothing. Anyone else know what is up?

Try "Highjack This", a utility that looks at your registry to detect abnormal entries with delete functions.

Warning! Use with caution, knowledge of the Registry, at least at a basic level, is required before deleting willy-nilly.
