Its got rid of basically all spyware thats been on my pc, so i like it

best anti-spyware setup i have come across
Ad-Aware SE- scans and removes spyware (freeware)
http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

SpyWare Blaster - prevents sptware from being loaded onto a system (freeware)
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com

HiJack This - shows all autostar items and selective removes them (freeware)

To quote geancanach, SpyWare Blaster is an excellent program, I haven't had any self installers(adware/spyware) install after installing this program. Excellent, and I've had it for like 4 months! 8)

Ad-aware SE is the best program for ad and spyware cleaning(imho). I use it for a long time and it always found and eliminate all the stuff that othrse couldent.

I said this already :wink:

Yeah you did, but its really good. I have a story! Everyone get comfy...

I got a new computer and used it for about a week then installed a bum file and i got pop ups. Then I downloaded Ad-Aware and it found seven or eight files to trash and that was good. Then Ad-Aware told my my dectecting ability was over100 days old or something I was like "huh?!?!" cause I just downloaded it anyways I installed the new dectector rays and it found over 150 things to remove on one sweep of my drive - wow! and it was less than a week old, amazing.

So thats my story. You can all get up and have a snack now.

Adaware suX ! I prefer other software
