Are you talking about "Spam" which is unsolicited E-mail or Spyware/Adware?
Spybot and Adaware have nothing to do with E-mail. |

Microsoft AntiSpyware works pretty well. As long as you're running XP tho..
It used to be "Giant AntiSpyware" until ol' Bill bought it from them. It works 'actively' the same as Anti-Virus software, It scans what's coming in and alerts on bad crap. It's also free, btw... Linky HERE to NON M$ download site, so you don't have to go through their bullshit windows validation crap. |

I'd agree if the question was quoted as spyware and not spam. But you quoted it as spam. In the case of spyware, yes, Linux. I have Ubuntu Linux and no spyware at all. |

None of the commercial shit really works... AdAware is one of the better programs, but the best solution is (a) stop using Internet Explorer - get Firefox or Mozilla instead, and (b) don't click ANY popups... The vast majority of spyware is INTERNET EXPLORER specific - since switching to firefox I haven't had much trouble with it... |

How do you know exactly that you don't have spyware if you don't run any anti-spyware software? Not all spyware produces popups. |

It's FAR from just porn sites...... There's tons of shit out there on otherwise seemingly innocent sites. If you assume that, you're a fool nowadays, and it's just a matter of time before you get hit. |

I use spybot S&D and never have a problem b/c it has an "immunize" feature to stop spyware before it ever get's to your PC. Zonealarm Plus is also good because it blocks popups VERY well. |

Lots of good answers here.
First, don't use IE, switch to Firefox (had to be said AGAIN) If you don't want to avoid all porn/gambling/free game etc. sites then you will have trouble. Now, the corporation I work for has a few owner/officer types that have made it clear that they WILL enjoy porn, gambling and any other thing that they want while they are at work. All the anti-ad and spyware programs in the world won't work for long under that kind of use. I was introduced to a company called Faronics and specifically, a product called FreezeX by a colleague. I installed it on these machines and have never had a single instance of any malware of any type since. What it does is takes a snapshot or image of the entire system at the time of install and then simply does not allow any changes to the system whatsoever past that point. No registry changes, to execution of any type of executable file, no installers, no trojans, no viruses, no anything. It's been a godsend. The only downside is that it also won't allow you to install anything without first entering a password and turning it off. After installation you turn it back on and it adds the authorized changes to its image and locks it all down again. it only takes a few seconds to do this and it's worth it. I've got machines that have been running for over a year and they absolutely are as clean as the day they were imaged. You can't even deliberately infect them with a virus |

The easiest way to keep spyware off your system is don't surf the web on an Administrator account.
Every body does it, and everybody gets infected, which is totally stupid because if they were using a "Limited" (XP Home) or "User" (XP Pro, 2k) account then none of that crap would get installed in the first place. Even if you tried. Windows won't let you or any program install anything unless you have Admin rights. This is what I just can't understand - Windows has this protection built in, but no one uses it. The only downside is you have to use the other Admin account any time you want to install software, update a driver, etc. But how often do you do that? OTOH, malware is trying to get on your system every day. The easiest way to fix this is to create another account, give it Admin priviledges, then log on that account and demote your original account. It's that easy to keep your Windows box spyware free. |
