  1. About a year ago I had a spyware problem on my work laptop. Members gave me a program to run that cleared everything up and I have had no problems since. Any suggestions to fix this “dialer.WSV” . It seems to be imbedded in my internet files somewhere and Norton can not find it or detroy it. Help!! I purchased Spysweeper and it has not helped either. I keep getting warnings of someone attempting to hack into my system.
