[AT] Computer spyware problem HELP

[charliehill]

Well it only took about 8 hours to beat that monkey into submission.  Thanks 
for the advice on the Malwarebytes software.  That one found what the others 
missed and hopefully antimalware2009 is history for me now.
That program tries to reload every 2 minutes on the dot.
For nearly 2 hours I had to sit here and every 2 minutes close the file 
while Malwarebytes did it's thing.

Thanks again

Charlie
