    February 6th, 2008 at 7:56 am I have spyware doctor installed. I am a registered user of this programme. It gets rid of adware.agent.bn however each time I reboot the computer, adware.agent.bn comes back. How can this adware be removed permanently without having to scan for it with spyware doctor each time I reboot? Regards Felix

    May 11th, 2008 at 4:29 pm I got rid of Adware Agent BN using spyware doctor and malwarebytes. My computer is running faster than ever. Stables tried to get rid of it for me since I do not know a lot about computers, but when they failed to correct the problem, I went to one of the websites and it recommended the malwarebytes and it finished removing the virus.
