thanx @witeshark
i already used spybot-search and distory, plz tell another solution, for refernce see post 6.
Have you tried disconnecting from a live connection and running these spyware removal software? This way you don't introduce more spyware while you're scanning. Of course do an update prior to disconnecting your connection.
b) Usage of Internet Explorer (use Mozilla or Firefox: www.mozilla.org)
c) Use of programs that come with spyware. Examples are DivX codecs for Windows (www.divx.com). There's not much you can do in cases like these...
d) Anti-spyware identify also a few cookies as being spyware. If that truly annoys you, disable cookies from your browser. Some sites won't allow you to use features as "Saving your password", and in extreme cases, you won't be able to navigate some sites by doing that...

Spyware is too pain full for me !
oh, well thats why you have to run it once a week. you should also use the immunization feature in it. also, get firefox, taht will help a lot.
have you tried finding out where your annoying spyware is coming from and not installing it in the first place. even on windows 98 things rarely install themselves.
Thanks all of u. Till now i tried to manage the sypware. I will see the performance for few days , get back here for any query, if it again creates problem for me.
Finally, I see that on the other thread you made, someone made the suggestion that you take your spyware question about Windows to the real and true authority on that yucky stuff. The forums at www.spywareinfo.com I suggest you sub to their email newsletter to keep up on the jerks of the world as well.
