Why Is SpyWare Stopping My IStockPhoto Downloads? Please Help!

Alex Taylor · 03-23-2009, 08:52 PM

This is driving me nuts!

Everytime I try to download a picture from IStockPhoto, the link to right-click disappears too fast for me to click. And then I see my status bar change to say "ad.yieldmanager..." bla bla bla is downloading something.

I've looked it up and it's spyware, but no spyware software I've tried will get rid of this thing.

Any ideas?

Download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware and run them both. That should do the trick.

I downloaded and ran the super anti spyware yesterday, and I just used the other one on you recommendation. Still no luck getting rid of that sucker!

Isn't it crazy when Spyware can literally grind your business to a halt?

Ach! That combo was always my failsafe, but now you're the second person who wasn't able to rid their machine with them.

Might be time for you to try HijackThis.

Anti-spywares are just replacing competitive spywares with their own brand.
Get on fresh Linux box and retry.
Alternatively install Virtual machine (with Linux or windows image) and retry.
I love working in virtual machines.
