My wife’s laptop has both the Adware Agent ZO, and Rouge Anti Spyware XP Anti spyware. We have Spyware Doctor on the computer, but every time it quarantines and says to restart the computer, it comes back. It has blocked our system restore, and now somehow has block us from even connecting to the internet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
