| Mephisto | Can someone please give me a reliable and effective spyware/adware remover? It's getting out of control on my computer and makes it almost impossible to surf the net (even with FireFox). I also just reformated ~week ago, so I don't feel like going through that again. | March 3, 2006, 4:33 AM |

FFS [/quote] I'm simply amazed that you've managed to screw the hell out of your computer in a week. I can guarantee you reformatting will go quicker than installing anti-malware software and cleaning up your box. Anyhow, go with Ad-Aware SE Personal and ClamWin. | March 4, 2006, 4:36 AM |
| Mangix | personally, i only use Spybot and SpyWareBlaster. just run a spybot scan, and after you're done, Immunize. also turn on SpywareBlaster. it helps. | March 5, 2006, 8:10 PM |
| LordNevar | Webroot is ok. You can get a copy of it off www.download.com | March 6, 2006, 10:25 PM |
| bethra | Hitman Pro 2.3.3 It takes an hour at the least, but runs like 5+ different Spyware/Adware removal programs. It'll download the latest installer, update them, and then run each of them. Among the programs it runs are Ad-Aware, SpyBot, and a bunch of others. If you don't mind waiting and you have an internet connection... it's somewhat overkill for someone who doesn't get spyware/adware... but runs weekly scans anyways (i.e. myself). Else just use in conjunction with each other SpyBot S&D and Ad-Aware, also you might want to DL and run CCleaner. | March 9, 2006, 2:18 PM |

[/quote] First, I don't suggest Ad-Aware SE Personal, because you can go get Professional from limewire, easily. As if they haven't made enough money for a tool which should be free anyhow. Besides, pro has real-time anti-spyware. Same with ClamWin. It's great, being open source and all, but for the same reson (real-time protection), I've chosen Avast anti-virus. [hr] Personally, I use Spybot S&D, although I've had good experiences with Ad-Aware in the past (although, they have gotten some bad rap, but I don't know why). As for anti-viruses, which you DEFINATELY need if you're getting that much spyware, I use Avast. To quote Stealth..
