I apparently have some spyware program on my computer called Spyware Webhancer ...it gives my computer a red background and talk about popups that drive you mad! I also type in google search "remove spyware webhancer" and I get an error and the window closes....I tried removing manually no luck. Can someone help me out here plez and see wat u find on a search. I have norton but my live update has expired and I really dont want to have to pay 39.95 when Im sure the process to remove this crap is on the net

Rocky,

A quick search said that Adaware would take care of it. You can download it for free here:
Get Ad-Aware 2007 Plus for Free with Lavasoft and TrialPay - Lavasoft

Did you try Adaware?

No not yet...I would like to understand the whole problem before I allow some software to take it over. I might be struggling a while on this one...but I think im getting closer....still having problems. I have heard that some programs like ad-aware do the opposite of what they claim and actually cause problems instead of fixing the problems you have, or they claim to be free and what you are getting is the scanning tool that tells you that you have a problem then you have to buy the full version to fix the problem The only 2 programs I guess i trust are mcaffee or norton
