NoAdware detects a virus in my prog files -spyware stormer but is unable to delete it. How do I get

When running my NoAware it detects a spyware in my program files called "spyware stormer". I have tried to delete it a number of times but have been unsucessful. This message show up- "Purports to be anti-spyware software, but has been known to be installed through extremely devious methods." My compute has been very slow since. Help me get rid of it PLEASE. Thanks Patty

First of all, NoAdware is a terrible program to use. CNET reviewed the software and gave it a 1 out of 10 (10 being the best). Second, items detected by anti-spyware programs aren't necessarily spyware. Occasionally, there are false positives - items which are genuinely harmless but labeled as spyware. You will need a better security program than NoAdware. There are three (3) applications that can help and all of them free to download. They are Spybot Search%26Destroy, Lavasoft's Ad Aware and Microsoft's Window Defender beta 2. You can find all these programs at http://www.filehippo.com/software/antisp...

You can install them all without any problem but be sure to scan one at a time. CNET has a great website which shows you to how to use each of these applications. The link is http://www.download.com/Security-Spyware...

Lastly, you can use Computer Associates' Spyware Encyclopedia to look up a particular spyware. When one of my anti-spyware scanners detects a suspicous file, I look it up in the encyclopedia. The encyclopedia lists all the files added by a particular spyware. If I don't find these files then I conclude that it was a false positive. Another trick is to scan the suspicious file with another anti-spyware scanner. If two scanners come up with the same suspicious file(s) then I am convinced that it is indeed spyware.
