Damn Virus!

Last night,working on my laptop... had just download CuteFTP Pro 7.0...need the cracks since the serials don't work...so..went to some hack sites and download some "cracks"...GNN turned to be something else..even though din complete the setup of this crack, it managed to release itself into my Windows and integrated itself with the IE,showing links to casinos,porns etc..This is Spyware, Twinkle...
Anyway,had past experiences with spywares..no problems with this one lar...that's what I thought. This Spyware,called "Azesearch", gave a tough fight.My trusty spyware scanners couldn't deal with it,if they managed to pick it up at all. Soon, another spyware call "Anti-Virus Gold" embedded into my system,constantly showed the "Virus Warning!!your system is infected!!"..thought it's gonna give me a solution...went to the links given..ya..will given solution,for a price..Damn!!The "Anti-Virus Gold" must be part of the sneaky gang!!Worse,my Norton couldn't pick it up.Believed it's not virus but spyware actually.Anyway, it managed to change the screen of my windows and I was like,racing against time for my Norton to do something! Damn...bo pian..did the ultimate remedy!! "RESTORE SYSTEM" is what I did next...and well, it managed to stop the advances of "Anti-Virus Gold",after which I delete the folder from my program files.But the damn "Azesearch" refused to be beaten!! Tried to Restore System to an even earlier time,but it remains there..damn..pissed me out liao..undid the Restore System for a tough fight...disable the internet connection,then spent 1.5 hours for 2 spyware scanners and Norton to do their work.Nah...don't work at all.Icons still remain.Went into Windows file and search for all "AZE*" files and delete away...looks okay now...but don't know it's really okay anot...Pray Tua Peh Gong don't let it appear again...Damn Spyware!!took me 5 hrs for this battle!
