Spy Bot runs fine but whenever I run Ad Aware or Spyware Terminator it freezes about half way through it. I have tried everything but it doesnt help. The program locks up after about half way through the scan. Does anyone know what is causing this?

Try disabling your anti virus software while scanning and closing any open programs [just make sure that you are not connected to the internet and you should be quite safe if you scan for viruses before hand]. By the way what anti virus software are you running?

I am running Avast. I didn't have any spyware programs open during my last scan and it still froze. I have tried it with AVG, and Avast. It was also happening when I ran Ad Aware and Spyware Terminator. I will close all programs and then run Avast, see if that works.

Thanks for the response.

I tried closing out all programs and running Avast, it still froze. Also, when I do a search on Google and click on one of the links it brought up, I always get redirected to some other page. Usually an advertisement. It seems I have a bug somewhere but my anti virus and spyware removers always freeze. Please help.

Thank

Your problem is probably with SPYWARE TERMINATOR at invender.nl, and not the others. Spyware Terminator is on the SpyWare Rogue List.

Uninstall Spyware Terminator, restart, and re-run all your Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware applications. The problem should themn be resolved.
