What's the best free software to remove the spyware '180solutions'?

I have a number of anti spyware/adware programs, but none of them can find the spyware '180solutions'.



I know this is on my computer as the program 'SpyCatcher' prevents it from running, but cannot find it.



Any suggestions?

Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.



Run Avast and Ewido in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.



Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it.

Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware

http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus, also prevents and finds some trojans (spyware).

The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.
