spyware

[cool dude]

i downloaded a spyware scanner program on my computer and i did a full scan. when it was done it found many and i mean many spyware on my computer. when i wanted to delete it i couldn't because first i have to purchase it, which i don't want to do. is there any free or trial version i could download of spyware removal. i already have adaware 6.0 and i use it but i want a spyware removal.

Except for the fact that it likes to label software that competes with Microsoft's own as spyware.

[Andy]

but u can set exceptions so it wont pick it up the nxt time

[zomg]

spyware blaster is amazing because it actually prevents spyware from returning on ur comp and it doesnt use resources, i use that and adaware SE Pro. i dont have to many problems

i gotta try this MS spyware removal i can see it now:
spyware found: 1 object
-Internet Explorer

spybot is the best its customizable and alos gwt AVG anti virus that also comes in hand most viruses instal spyware/adware and if you only use a bot it doens t destroy the main source

Yes, Microsoft's is actually really good. Just make sure you look through the list to make sure it's only deleting spyware .

I use Spybot when I'm on Windows, however.

Everyone take note. Martin advocates use of Microsoft's anti-spyware program... just not with Windows.

Pardon my illiteracy.

What I mean to say was install linux and forget about spyware.

we should forgive him, he's probably a bit confused from all the top secret stuff he's going (like apparently running MS spyware on linux )

[wtd]

All is forgiven.

hey its possible , VM ware is the Devil i say

And if Linux is giving you a hard time , jsut Go to mac, then all your Virus Spyware and Adware problems are gone , becuase hte index of such files is apparantly 17 in total. OHHHH AHHHHHH

Take Advantage of all the Apps . and then tell us which one worked best or what found the most , Id like to get a good review of them when used together , My lack of a Windwos machine kinda stops me form performing such a task

You poor soul. You mean to tell us you don't have the pleasure of spending all day reviewing anti-malware apps?

thanks guys. i already found a really good one except its only a 30 day trial. if u go to webroot.com and then go to downloads you'll see the spyware removal called spysweeper. my friend suggested it to me and it's really good.
