To anyone who might be able to help How do I delete these programs? I have Norton and it is saying I have 3 with "threats". I have copied a paragraph per the problem from Symatech. Drake File names: SpywareNukerInstaller.exe When the installation process is started, SpywareNukerInstaller.exe attempts to connect to spywarenuker.com to download SpyNukerSetup.exe, which is another component of the setup program. This file is saved to C:\Program Files\Trek Blue. When the download is complete this file is executed. By default, the program installs itself to C:\Program Files\Trek Blue\Spyware Nuker, and then insert several files and subfolders in this folder. The program comes with a LSPFix executable that modifies Windows TCP/IP setup. As a result of this modification, you may loose network connectivity. Note: Removing this adware component from the system will likely cause the program that installed it to not function as intended. The uninstaller generally identifies the programs that will not work after uninstallation. Update the virus definitions. Uninstall Spyware Nuker using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Adware.SpywareNuker. Delete the value that was added to the registry. For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions. 1. Updating the virus definitions Symantec Security Response fully tests all the virus definitions for quality assurance before they are posted to our servers. There are two ways to obtain the most recent virus definitions: Running LiveUpdate, which is the easiest way to obtain virus definitions: These virus definitions are posted to the LiveUpdate servers once each week (usually on Wednesdays), unless there is a major virus outbreak. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by LiveUpdate, refer to the Virus Definitions (LiveUpdate). Downloading the definitions using the Intelligent Updater: The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are posted on U.S. business days (Monday through Friday). You should download the definitions from the Symantec Security Response Web site and manually install them. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by the Intelligent Updater, refer to the Virus Definitions (Intelligent Updater). The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are available: Read "How to update virus definition files using the Intelligent Updater" for detailed instructions. 2. Uninstalling the Adware Do one of the following: On the Windows 98 taskbar: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows Me taskbar: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs. If you do not see the Add/Remove Programs icon, click "...view all Control Panel options." On the Windows 2000 taskbar: By default, Windows 2000 is set up the same as Windows 98. In that case, follow the Windows 98 instructions. Otherwise, click Start, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows XP taskbar: Click Start > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add or Remove Programs. Click Spyware Nuker Note: You may need to use the scroll bar to view the whole list. Click Add/Remove, Change/Remove, or Remove (this varies with the operating system). Follow the prompts.
