Get Ad Aware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy (do NOT get the spyware one tho... theres a spoof version of it) or one of the other good well known anti spyware programs. If you have a legit version of Windows XP, you can get Windows Defender too which is a good program. |

I dunno about you, but this site is cleaner than my ass

Ad-Aware 2007 That's Ad-aware. Download it and give it a try! AVG Free That's AVG anti-virus. If those don't help you, here's a free trial of Trojanhunter: Mischel Internet Security Good luck! |

As mentioned above, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D and Spywareblaster. These three programs, combined with a good anti-virus suite will keep you clean. Just learn HOW to use them correctly and you'll have little problem. Also, believe it or not, Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program IS really good. It used to be called Giant Anti-spyware and was simply bought from it's creators BY Microsoft. It's not a 'native' MS product and works quite well at actively detecting spyware right from the get go, as the crap tries to install itself. Giant A-S has had good reviews for a long while now, before being bought out by Bill, AND the best part is, it's free. (for the time being, anyways) As long as you have a 'valid' Windows license, you can just download it right from MS's site and it'll go a LONG way towards actively protecting your computer from this kind of crap. Like I said, spend a little time learning HOW to use those programs, so they're as effective as they can be, and you won't have garbage like this happen anymore. |
