Hi everyone, I am having a problem. My computer was running really slow,so I ran spysweeperand it detected a running threat vx2(Transponder) zserv.dll It also said adware found adlogix and vx2(Transponder) Everytime I run the sweeper it still comes up even though I delete it. Any help on how to get rid of this completely? Thank you, Donna Salinas You don't say what operating system you use, but two programs you can download and use to remove spyware are AdAware SE and Spybot Search&Destroy. Both are very effective (especially in tandem) with removing pests. If your Anti Virus program is up to date and hasn't detected any threats, and you are using Win XP, you can optionally pick a restore point to an earlier date.
