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)

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.

QUOTE(nareth @ Jan 29 2005, 06:03 PM)  i use microsoft anitspyware though i dont need it because i use firefox. dump ie and you will never get spyware anymore unless you install software like kazaa I use Firefox only But don't be to sure you don't get any spyware! I still do and no downloaders like kazaa or any other type downloaders. You still need a spyware of some kind! If you don't believe me ,, download AdAware SE Free and do a scan. Oh!!!! surprize, surprize. Look in front of your eyes!!!

As for AdAware, it is a good program, but a bit heavy for workstations. it has that great app that is AdWatch, but has a few problems dealing qith automatic mode (and manual mode is the same as having no protection at all, since the users on my company have litle or no knowledge of computers.. just word, excel and IExplorer)
As for the new MS product, shouldn't it be already released with IE? (i think it's going to be, but when!?!?)
All that being said, i'm gonna try a few of the ones you mentioned here. thanks all
