Hey MOB and Regs..... I haven't been playing a lot of MOHAA lately because it runs wicked slow because of spyware and adware on my computer. I've tried getting Spysweeper and stuff but I need a permanent solution. The spyware even changes my homepage and shit like that. It's probably the most aggrevating thing ever.... Does anyone have any suggestions of a great program? Or I even heard that you can fraud your IP or something and that will do the trick, but I don't know if that's an idiot's idea or even illegal. Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated
Sincerely and Respectfully, Nicky Santoro(The Wise Guys) |

its not known as frauding your ip, its know as spoofing it. You can do so by downloading some programs at www.cracks.st , when you get there just type in ip address and look through the list. Oh and it is llegal alot of people do it.

Hey Soup,
Which one do I download off of the list? I don't want just to download anything, I think that's how I got into this mess. Sincerely and Respectfully, Nicky Santoro(The Wise Guys) |

Nicky, the best program that I found is called Adaware. They have a free version you can try. I liked it so much I actually paid for the upgrade. You can check it out here:

I use Adaware first, then Spybot search and destroy. I find the combo to get rid of just about everything. They are both free, which I'm not sure if anyone pointed out since I really just scanned this post. But definately use Adaware, but try out Spybot after.

Sincerely and Respectfully, Nicky Santoro(The Wise Guys) P.S. The lavasoft program works really good but somethings still remain, I'm going to try Bargod's theory |

tucows.com and search "Spybot" it will come up and after you dowload and install make sure to go into settings and update then check system and select all and remove. Don't worry it only removes spyware,then goto recovery and clear that list also

Here you go Nicky
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3 -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |
