Anyone using IE that has experienced the mysterious typing slowdown/freeze do this:

In IE:

1.Click Tools
2.Click Internet Options
3.Click Accessibility
Uncheck "Format documents using my style sheet"
4.Click Ok
5.Click Ok again
6. Now go to the c:\Windows directory were the file is and delete that *.css. (c:\windows\java\my.css)
7. Reboot!!

This .css file is some kind of new spyware component and will be detected soon in Spybot SD i was told.

Good Luck

Spyware cleaners are very similiar to AV scanners in the way they use definition files and constantly need to keep updating the definitions to detect the latest threats. They can't detect what they are not "programmed to detect" and new definitions only arrive after a few machines have become infected...a copy of the malware/virus/trojan has to be captured and disected in order to find out how to remove or destroy it safely.

Hopefully someday spyware cleaners will use heurestic scanning to detect "unknown" threats biggrin.gif
but until then keep updating regularly.

I have found Ad-Aware finds a few things Spybot doesn't and Spybot finds some Ad-Aware doesn't...so being the paranoid person i am i run both.

speak about Spyware, I had Xupiter on my computer about a month ago, and it replace my MSN search so now I have to manually goto Altavista instead of just typing my quest in the address bar and let MSN deal with it, well I removed Xupiter, but I can't get back the search functionality, got any idea's?
