    My fiance's computer is infected with Actual Spy 2.8. While online for the last 3 or 4 days AOL spyware blocker has popped up saying that it is blocking Actual Spy 2.8. I looked in the registry and in add and delete files and haven't found any trace of the program so I am looking for some help on how to locate this hidden program.
    Thanks

    A little more information. Ad-Aware and Avast have not been able to detect anything either and I did do a boot scan using avast.
