Well, basicly it's not me thats having the problem because I don't fall for these lame adware infecting tricks... although all my friends are bugging me to fix their computers, and there must be a shorter way then search for every part of this virus and delete them one by one.
(Considering on the last computer I fixed there were something like 14 viruses, and the stupid anti-virus wouldn't heal, or remove them . Thus I had to remove them manualy)
Seeing as it's adware usualy theres a basis file they're all comming from (You know, the file the adware installs on ur computer? ya, that one), but I cant seem to find it, can anyone tell me where it is, and how to get there please?

And incase nobody knows which one I'm talking about, it's the one that says,

Look at this! I found a picture of you ... *etc* (Then shows site adress here)

That one.

Not sure if this will help you or not. I can't say for sure that the two are related. When I can I plan to slam someone pretty heavy.

Look for this file:

ifebax.dll

It hides in c:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/

It is a browser add on and can be disabled in the tools section of IE.

I know where I got it and who gave it to me. I even know who planted it.

I really want to KA and take names but I can't confirm this.

Wait, I gotta re-do this post because I think I read it incorrectly ... MSN plus has adware in it? ... I mean like the stuff that spamms you in conversations, and slows down your computer ... MSN plus has that? or it helps prevent it?
Ive always stayed away from MSN plus thinking its pointless and buggy.
