Antivirus & Anti-Spyware
 

My wife's PC got infected with the Coolwwwsearch spyware, and after running Spybot and Adaware, it is still there.
So I was wondering is someone could recommend a way to eliminate it.

Also, what is the best antivirus in your opinion? We use the Trendmicro one (PC-cillin Internet Security 2005) but she still gets a trojan from time to time, since she uses IE instead of Firefox. (I don't get them since I use Firefox, which is a heck of a lot safer than IE)

Thanx in advance.

ive been happy with webroots spysweeper after using it i was blown away with the results compared to spybot and adaware

Try this one:

For regular antivirus, nothing comes close to www.nod32.com

AntiVir
http://www.free-av.com/

It's free and updates a few times a day. You'll love it!

run these programs in safe-mode

she was surfing porn and got infected ? :)

search for CWShredder and make sure you're using Adaware SE, it catches alot of shit that the other version doesnt

I scheduled Norton to run a full system scan Mon, early am. I also scheduled Spybot Search and Destroy to run Thurs and Sun, early am. Has worked well for me

Try MS AS beta

tungsten and DVD316 are onto the right stuff!

For months, I had a ton of things I couldn't get rid of and finally had a tech come in. He deleted several of the pop-up/adware blockers that I had tried and told me that many of them actually installed their own software.

In the end, I was left w/ Norton, Spybot Search & Destroy, and CWShredder... an my computer hasn't been better since the day I bought it :thumbsup

Some of the sponsors in our network have tours that send you into pop-up hell, and I would get so annoyed at the downtime they would cause me... not to mention the fact that ads for porn sites would pop up at inconvenient moments. :1orglaugh

I'm very happy w/ the current set up!!

Right on ... for spyware, spydoctor is pretty good.

So , riun antivirus and spyware too;. Delete and clean all you can.
Desactivate " Restore" in Xp.
Restart in safe mode.
Rerun both programs and clean what they find.
Reboot in normal mode, and re-activate the Restore function


DONE!

try the NIS 2005

TRY PANDA ANTIVIRUS and i am sure you guys wont try anything else ever again ;)

this is by far thebest. It will fix EVERYTHING

guranteed
