I keep picking up a spyware called SahAgent that places itself in the registry.
I can't tell where its coming from but It shows up every couple of times I log onto the internet. Adaware cleans it off but I wonder if its being re-installed from a virus I might have caught.
I'll scan for virus tonight.

That's Shop At Home, and it's very messy. I found one app, Pest Patrol, that claims to completely get rid of it, but I haven't paid the $40 to buy it yet.
I recently paid the $30 for XoftSpy, but it doesn't really get rid of SAH, so I'm regretting that $30.

SahAgent (Shop At Home Select) has to manually be removed from the registry - Spy Bot won't get it, and I don't think AdAware will either...if you go to Tech Guy Forums or Computing.net, you can find instructions for removing it. I had to do this after I installed IMesh. That thing is chock full o' junk.

I keep picking up a spyware called SahAgent that places itself in the registry. Symantec has instructions for removal here.
