Hi Leo. I copped a worm/virus/hacker yesterday. Yeah, no wories. Removed it with Spybot but now when I connect my Internet USB it comes up again. Something tells me my Sim card in the USB may have it. How do I remove it from there? Please.
Bill

The most common way to remove a virus from a USB stick is to copy off the data and reformat the stick. That's what I recommend. If not an option you'll need to instruct your anti-malware tools to perform a scan of the device.

Oh. It over-rides my Security and Firewall as well.

I have Webroot Antivirus Spysweeper to detect and deal with cookies and spyware...Today, I found 1 Spyware cookie and my computer froze...as well as 7 cookies that showed up.

Time and again, these cookies are quarantined..and I have the choice of "selecting"

or "deselecting" them..What action should I take?

My guess is that they're simply tracking cookies and they'll just keep coming back no matter which you select. More here: Why does my anti-spyware program keep reporting the same cookies?
