335k, Spyware mess

The house that is being built right next to our place had an info/sales sheet in a tube on the realtor sign. Being nosy, I grabbed one. The house being built is slighter bigger than ours, it has 3 car garage opposed to our 2 and it will have 4 bedrooms as opposed to the 3 we have. It is on a smaller lot than ours and does not include a pool, paved driveway or outside storage shed.. The sale price floored me, 335k! The idea that someone would pay that much money to put up with the hassles we do living out there amazes me. However I am pulling whole heartedly for it to sell for that. Such a sale would set the bar very high on our property value which will greatly benefit us. If we can just put up with the inconvenience for awhile yet there could be a big payoff down the road.

I have spent a good 4 or 5 hours working on a pc here that has some ultra-resilient spyware installed on it. I have cleaned it repeatedly both automatically using tools like SpyBot and AdAware and manually gone in and deleted rouge files. The damn thing reinstalls itself after cleanup. It is just crazy how dug in some of this junk can be. I am not sure what is worse at this point, spyware, spam or viruses/worms. If your spyware detection software flags something called Evula, watch out, you are in for a lot of headaches.

Weekend is basically a house chores session. I am hoping I get some strength back so I can do it all. Right now I still feel pretty terrible.
