My computer was infected with Padobot. I’ve tried to use my anti-virus programs and they don’t pick it up. The virus was also stopping me from downloading new spyware programs by stopping the connection. You were my last chance… I don’t know why, but your removal tool was downloaded. Now it is working fine.
This post helped me a lot to get rid of Padobot. Great job!
