Hi, I am having a lot of trouble with some spyware on my
machine, that i can't seem to get rid of. There are four
culprits; CAX Proxy, Delfin, Downloadware and
NetworkEssentials.

These have all been identified by Spy Sweeper as being
Adware, except NetworkEssentials, which is down as s
System Monitor. My probelm is, that I select to completely
remove these spyware programs from within Spy Sweeper and
it effectively does this, as they are removed, but when I
do another sweep straight away it finds the same spyware
again, in the same location. So even though the results
show that 4 more files/traces of spyware have been
removed, effectively they haven't.

Has anyone had similar problems or know what these spyware
programs are capable of?

How do I remove these pesky spyware.

Thanks in advance!

Alex.
