I'm not sure if my spybot is working properley or not. It finds the same ole junk, day after day. Is this the way its suppose to be or should i try a re-install? Any help would be appreciated! |

Visit Trend micro and use the free spyware and the free virus cleaners And download CCleaner and use it at the end of everyseson and you will stay clean. And stop going to porn sites....

Elite-- Just to be sure, go into the menu/options and make sure certain flavors of spyware haven't exempted itself from being detected. and just as a backup, another pretty good freebie anti-spyware program is lavasoft's Ad Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com I assume you are running some sort of firewall software--Zone alarm is pretty good, but it'll make you pretty paranoid when someone is scanning your ports. Some dirtbag has been mapping my ports on and off for the last couple days: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp If you have a solid hunch that malicious software/keyloggers/trojans are running processes, I like Trojanhunter--good simple interface and they have a freebie 30 day trial: http://www.misec.net ...Oh, and stop going....  --David |

Thanks for the replies, i will do everything everyone suggested tonight and report back. I dont go to Porn sites. Only here, i play three sometimes four on-line games. I go to a couple other gun boards, and e-stores like AIM, Blackhawk, etc. And i go to three video sites like youtube, filecabi. Thats pretty much it. But everytime i check spybot theres the same ole tired 70 baddies, everyday! I immunize and still the same old tired baddies come up. I delete cookies, files and history everyday. I have spybot, adaware, zonealarm and two virus protections.

i've always run two different spyware removers(don't try doing with with anti-virus programs!!! - they'll conflict with each other.) one will often find what the other misses. i currently use a paid version of webroot's spysweeper(excellent program) and ad-aware. i'm very careful with my browsing, and i usually find 0 instances of spyware. if i'm getting 70 new instances with every scan, i'd do a reformat and start fresh. that's something i like to do every once in a while, though. |
