Right my computer has been badly affected by Spy ware and Ive tried alot of the free SPyware remover programmes however none of them have succesfully removed it.
I think I might have more luck if I manually go in to the msconfig and regedit programmes and try to delete it from there. i dont have a clue what to look for or how to do it though and I was wonderng if anyone knows any sites with good advice or who have any personal help they could give me...

A lot of spyware leaves settings and other junk in your registry, so there's no point going through all of it...
First download SpyBot S&D. It does work, trust me. Then, to prevent any future spyware from appearing download SpywareBlaster from javacoolsoftware.com.

Why would you want to remove your firewall for?
You most probably haven't kept the prog up to update. Also, you have to regularly scan for the spyware - it's no good just installing it. However, the program does come with TeaTimer.exe, which I recommend you using.

Got a free program off a cover disc a while back. I beleive it was called AdAware / Ad Aware.
Good little prog for hunting down spyware.

Zone Alarm's good too.

Can you download it?
Ive just finished running S&D for the 3rd time and there is one programme which keeps coming back no matter how many times I destroy it, do you think that I should try and search for it and destroy it manually?

Which firewall is it?
That one spyware is unavoidable, it's part of Internet Explorer. I'm guessing you mean the "Alexa" tag, with 5 entries?

hmmm if that prgram that keep coming back is accessing the internet then go for Zone Alarm as that give you the option to block it.
Ad Aware is no doubt around for free somewhere (try some PC mag websites).
Turbo Nutter et al in the PC/Web design forum can probably help you a lot more than I can. :)
