Hi,
PC was infected with SurfSideKick and Look2me which have proved well nigh
impossible to clean despite using Spbot, Ad-aware, Ewido, Defender, and
various other fixes.
I have spent approximately 5 days solid trying to clean this one and I
have
pulled most of my hair out!
If you know which registry keys affect the security centre notifications
that may help.
Thanks,
Gordon

Hi,
Firewall now back to normal but "change the way Serurity Centre Alerts
me"
is greyed out. Any ideas?
problems seem to have been caused by "look2me" malware which is an
absolute
nightmare to clean.
Thanks for your help.
