New Tools on the war against Spyware!
I have a new tool in the war with Spyware, it is called Prevx, it seems that I nasty Spyware app on my system called nnnopop.dll. I tried to use Ad-Aware to remove it, but it was no use, I couldn't get it to find it. The computer that I was working on had two seperate problems, one was a vundo virus, and the other was that nnnopop.dll that found its way to the System32 directory of windows. I got the prevx to run (yeah I know, but I was desperate, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on that particular file name as you can tell by the search) and checked it out. I was amazed when it allowed me to try the software with cleanup ability. Right away it found the problem and cleaned it up (in Real Mode to, not Safe Mode). As expected, it immediately told me that I had to reboot and when it came back, it was working perfectly. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that it wanted me to give a reason why I was uninstalling it, but it did uninstall with out having to tell it anything.
