This thread shows the usual pattern: reports “loverspy demo” persisting after running Ad‑Aware SE and Spyware Doctor; correctly asked where it’s located; added vendor removal guides. What’s missing for safe, targeted removal are three items: the exact scanner detection string, the file path shown by the scanner, and the Windows version. Those three make manual cleanup far less risky.

Practical removal workflow (ordered):

  1. Collect diagnostic details first: exact detection name reported and any file path or process name.
  2. Boot to Safe Mode (or Safe Mode with Networking if you must download tools).
  3. Stop the running component (Task Manager or Process Explorer) and disable startup entries (msconfig or Autoruns).
  4. Delete the on‑disk file(s) from Safe Mode, then remove matching Run/RunOnce entries (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) — export those registry keys before editing.
  5. Empty Temp folders and run a fresh scan with a current, second‑opinion scanner.

Extra checks and safety notes: inspect Scheduled Tasks, services, ProgramData/AppData folders and browser extensions for companion files; a respawning file usually means a scheduled task, service or installer is left behind. If the file resists removal, use an offline rescue scanner (bootable USB) or delete from another OS (Live CD). Always back up personal data and export registry keys or create a system restore point before manual edits. The vendor guides posted are useful for exact filenames; use them as supplements, not substitutes, and consider a full OS reinstall only after imaging your data.

hi according to macafee it not a trojan or viruse ,
you say its still there ,where is there ,and why not just go to where it is and delete it .
What program are you using to scan and find it .

Also ,just an observation ,your questions so far are like you are on a chat program ,Fourm is something like chat but you really should ask a questoion and then give as much info as you can about the problem you are having .
