could anyone help me with this? i got alota spyware in my computer but it didn't bother me THAT much until this time it really slowed down my computer, i discovered the name of the task, it's called playwave.exe. When i try to end it using the task manager it just comes back and it takes up a whole lotta memory, it grows from 10,000 KB to 180,000 KB and uses too much CPU and i can't find it in my computer. I used Ad-aware and Yahoo! anti-spy but neither can find that file and it's really starting to piss me off :x plz help

have you tried an anti-virus program?

dude the best prog is adaware, some "adware" programs actually put adware into your pc adaware is one of the few that doesn't, and its totally free...

if you google playwave.exe you'll fnd many things use that file legitmately, but no links to it being spy/adware

thanks a lot... I have constant problems with spyware, I appreciate verymuch both programs

itsthepham · 11-29-2004, 02:47 AM

lol. I wasn't really serious.

Any how, I hope those programs work. I have plenty more if you guys need any help with anything and what not.

Most importantly...be sure you update your virus definitions! especially with ad-aware.

Thank you so much for the webroot one. My SpySweeper stopped working for some reason. It was the older version anyway. Thank you for this.

BTW where did u get it from?

cho_888 · 11-29-2004, 05:37 AM

try a program called hijack, it really works, you need to find a forum as well, but it has killed everything i have put it up against

dons5 · 11-29-2004, 06:56 AM

wow are these full versions???? if so thanx soo much they are dl now!!

itsthepham · 11-29-2004, 12:00 PM

You're welcome guys. I have plenty more programs, depending what you need...and I maybe provide them.

DeMoN...I have my sources.

Yeah, without the key gen, you wouldnt be able to update the virus definitions, so theres really no point in downloading the normal spysweeper unless you have the full version.

dons5 · 11-29-2004, 01:29 PM

ya i downloaded the spysweeper and it doesnt let me update it, so i need a key gen program??
