Am up visiting the folks and spyware has completely taken over Dad's win98 machine. It overrides the IE start up page and getting popups galore. I find there are three programs running that I don't think should be.
addme32.exe
appsv32.exe
d3gu.exe
These all reside in the windows directory. I went to safe boot mode/dos prompt and tried to delete them but got an access denied when trying to delete d3gu.exe. Was able to delete the other two but they appeared again as soon as I rebooted. From talking to dad, spybot and adaware either do not recognize or cannot fix the problem. I like the new MS spyware remover but unfortunately it does not support win98.
Any ideas on what it is and how to get rid of it?
