There are 2 pieces of spyware that are deleted by Aladdin Internet Cleanup but then they come back:
EZula TopText
TinyBar
The latter comes back every few minutes! Any ideas how I can obliterate them for good??

[hounddog]

Please? Anyone?

Get spybot S&D then run it, when you pick them up. Let spybot clean them if that doesn't work manually delete them.

Thanks, alika, but you've hit upon my precise problem: I have spybot but it doesn't detect either of them; and I have no idea how to remove them manually.

Yep, all right what version of S&D are you running and what scan engine are you up to? You should have a ruff bots detect at 1500 too 20000.
Go to www.trendmicro.com and run there free home scan.

I have S&D 1.3. "wat scan engine are you up to?" Sorry, don't understand the question. What's a scan engine? I also don't know what a "ruff bots detect" is. Sorry to be so uninformed. I'm going to www.micro.com now.

Try "GIANT AntiSpyware". It is the latest and greatest as far as I am concerned. So far it is the most complete spyware removal tool that I have come across in this business. It comes with a 15 day free trial but the yearly subscription cost is minimal compared to how effective and complete this program is.

You may download a free trial of the software at the link below. Just click on "Products" and then "Free Downloads." This product combined with the Spyware-Adware Removal Kit on the same site will provide a complete solution to your problem.

I would try using Kill Box and hijack this. I'd say that a dll is running at startup and replacing the files that are being removed. Basically the spyware removal tool seem to be removing the symptoms, not the problem. Using Killbox and hijack this you can find the problem, stop it running and delete it all in one bold foul swoop. Or at least a couple of very quick swoops
