What is your most highly recommended spyware/adware removal software or combinations of such? I got a virus which so far has not been cured... only controled. Hehe.

wedouglas · 07-25-2005, 08:20 PM

i dont use anything. only foolish people get malware and viruses. if you do get shit though, use a combination of hijackthis and adaware. avg anti virus is free too and it is good

Your Mothers Secret · 07-25-2005, 08:21 PM

Kaspersky
Spyware Doctor
Hijack This
Kill Box

Google it

Spunky · 07-25-2005, 08:21 PM

I use Bullet Proof and Spy subtract along with all those free ones..the free ones aren't as effective so it is worth the 20 bucks or so and buy a decent program.

Sosa · 07-25-2005, 08:21 PM

can't use just one program. Install/update all of these and run them one by one. Avg Free edition , Spyboyt Search & Destory , Ad-aware , Microsoft Anti-Spyware

poisson · 07-25-2005, 08:22 PM

Microsoft antispyware beta

wedouglas · 07-25-2005, 08:22 PM

wha wha wha · 07-25-2005, 08:23 PM

If it only was that simple.I don't click yes to anything and my programs manage to find atleast 20 instances everyday..

Murderous · 07-25-2005, 08:28 PM

yeah, I didn't click anything either... was reviewing trades and ran into an asshole who submitted a nasty circlejerk, before i knew it my whole computer was fucked... got most of it, but it's still leaving bits behind.

webcrawler · 07-25-2005, 08:31 PM

ad-aware and spy sweeper

Also, i would recommend using firefox.

xfalmp · 07-25-2005, 08:35 PM

I use MS Antispyware and AVG Free, works for me.

Not at all true and AVG (which I used for years) doesn't catch everything.

I use a combination of Microsoft's free anti spyware software and Zone Alarms full security suite. Both working exceptional for some time, so far.

mardigras · 07-25-2005, 09:10 PM

I keep updated and run regularly AVG, Adaware, ZoneAlarm, Spybot, and the MS anti-spyware.

I reformatted my hard drive about 3 weeks ago after exploring links from a link posted here, some auto-install shit. I never click on anything that I don't know what the extention is. Whatever it was turned off everything but ZoneAlarm, deleted all my restore points, corrupted my net connection and blocked my access to anything administrator on the PC and the only way I could get back online was to reformat and reinstall Windows

reynold · 07-26-2005, 05:33 AM

Microsoft AntiSpyware and Search&Destroy.

JenniferM · 07-26-2005, 06:20 AM

I've been using Ad-aware...not so sure if it is completely what my little 'puter needs. Interested in trying out some others listed here too.

Bingo, we have a winner!
Although Ad-Aware sometimes fails in removal, it's very good at detection. Once you know what the culprit is, there are 100 sites that explain in detail how to remove.

Linkster · 07-26-2005, 07:15 AM

More important than what you use - is how you use it - first you have to be disconnected from the net, running in safe mode and in each account on the computer (assuming a windows op sys) including the admin account.
Its useless to run these programs on one account and then think youre fine.

Between Spy Sweeper, Adaware SE plus version, hijackthis and cws shredder you should be able to get rid of anything - of course it all depends on what it is as some require some registry editing

Basic_man · 07-26-2005, 08:06 AM

I use Adaware all the time, it's the best you can get for free

TDF · 07-26-2005, 08:07 AM

ewido security suite

tristan_D · 07-27-2005, 01:37 AM

I use Search&Destroy.

ColourMeHuman · 07-27-2005, 02:50 AM

Spyware remover is just bandaid. I don't get any spyware because I have 2 firwalls running. I suggest you install ZoneAlarm and buy a router.

Paid: Sun-Belt's Counter Spy ($20 USD)
It detects and removes the most amount of intrusions and since acquiring, I only use it (on my home system) and Avast!4Home (detects and removes viruses).

Free:
#1: Spybot, simply because of the extra tools, otherwise it is not much different from #2, below.
#2: Adaware

Just for some quick info - the new version of Spysweeper that was released yesterday will add 40k worth of entries to your hosts file - including some of the common sponsors as blocked - just found it with ARS's help
