Spyware Stormer Removal
Overview:
Spyware Stormer is one of the biggest spenders in the pop up advertiser
market. This software is installed through ActiveX. They use advertising
techniques that are designed to take advantage of people who aren't as familiar
with spyware. The
rogue spyware list says this about it; "aggressive
advertising (1,
2, 3,
4);
drive-by-downloading; (1);
variant of NoSpyX, SpyVest, SpywareCleaner, Spyware Wizard, & Spyware Slayer
(1);
Ad-aware
knockoff " Stick with
adaware and
spybot folks! We found
this to be one of our most requested items in the startup DB for the month of
February and March so we decided to post a little bit of additional information
to promote user awareness.
The following lines were adding to HJT upon installing this application:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Spyware Stormer] C:\Program Files\Spyware Stormer\SpywareStormer.Exe
O16 - DPF: {205FF73B-CA67-11D5-99DD-444553540000} (CInstall Class) - http://www.spywarestormer.com/files2/Install.cab
Removal:
Under Add/Remove programs you will find Spyware Stormer. The uninstaller seems
to remove almost everything just fine. Program Files\Security iGuard was not
even removed. Within that folder is the installer for this program so you'll
want to remove this folder and the installer to prevent this from reinstalling
at a later date.
End Process:
SpywareStormer.Exe
You should be back to normal IF this was your only problem. I suggest you post in our HJT forum since its not likely that this is your only bug. Read this first
