[Deano]

I have got a spyware cookie on my PC called 'TIBS C' anyone know anything about it I cant seem to get rid of it as I think its on the registry...whatever that means.. Anyone help me out as since I had this the PC is running real slow especially my beloved monkeys...

Alright Deano,

There are a few options which should sort this.

Have you any Antivirus software on your pc?? If so go into your Antivirus and run a scan on the pc which should pick up the unwanted file.

remove all cookies C:\Documents and Settings\Cookies

You should really have some sort of A/V on your pc.

There are several few other checks you can also run.

pm me if you want any more info
