fishman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 spyware doctor you can get it in the free google pack i think, i also think its better than adaware, as i had a problem with my pc, and it could sort it out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smellywelshman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Avast! Antivirus got rid of a really nasty one for me:) Updates itself every time you turn your pooter on too. It'll even try to sort your computer before your operating system kicks in if you tell it to. Completely free too, the best type of free!!!

bigcol Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I use avg, adaware and registry cleaner, all free never had any problems up to know (touch wood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Webroot Spysweeper is very good but you only get a 30 day trial. Its never failed me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 http://www.superantispyware.com/ and http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007-Free/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5 should be sufficient against spyware. I put first one because except removing standard spyware this one is also getting rid of VERY annoying "fake antivirus" warnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks all, very useful, and running more than one of the suggested programs has resulted in a lot of crap being removed from the HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
