hey any computer guys out there know how to remove grabber? gf was trying to watch how i met your mother and downloaded it... I did some googling but I feel suspicious of my findings as most of them want me to download a 3rd party anti virus software... this thing looks like a major pain in the ass and I would really appreciate some help.

First thing I do whenever something goes weird on my computer is to use System Restore.
Best solution imo, and better than downloading any 3rd party "Spyware remover" application.
Hopefully the computer got infected recently,
as it makes it much easier to pinpoint which date to roll back to with System Restore.

first thing i did was a system restore to an earlier date but grabber is still there... maybe I need to do it to a much earlier date? this thing is seriously the most annoying trojan...

Yea, you might have to go back further.
Hard to say how far without knowing when the computer first got infected though...
Gotta "trial and error" it.

download kaspersky internet security & at least the 30 day trial will get rid of it 100% after you do a complete system scan......don't bother with norton anti-virus...norton as a whole is just garbage,i've got my computer infected and the free 1 year of norton anti-virus couldn't even handle the virus.
