Microsoft AntiSpyware is good...
Well i use Ad aware SE and PEstPatrol. I'd rather rely on my Symantec antivirus corporate edition.
I scan my PC once in two days for spywares. Ad aware can eliminate most of the threats.. since its scanning engine is more powerful QUOTE(rmdort @ Nov 29 2004, 05:16 AM) Well i use Ad aware SE and PEstPatrol.

Ad aware can eliminate most of the threats.. since its scanning engine is more powerful  I never can get it to get rid of all the Spyware. I run ad-aware, and then run webroot, and I get a ton of more spyware removed with webroot. I just can't figure it out. And I have tried to use Norton AV, but it just never finds any...

has got some interesting little apps! I use Spywareblaster in conjunction with Spywareguard and MRU-blaster! Spywareguard also protects against browser hijacking, which has saved me from a lot of trouble. They use very little resources. Remember to update often! On top of that I'll run Ad-aware every now and then! Recommended! cheers
Spy bot search and destroy,
best one i have seen around. and it's free. You could also take a look at Hijackthis, but that's more for the advanced user.
spybot can only do so much, its limited as to cleaning adware. spybot in tandum with ad-aware is best, but it is 2 programs taht u have run. so i would suggest mcafee spyware. or just buy mcafee system suite. that comes with everything, antivirus, firewall, spyware, spamkiller... but i still suggest spybot and ad-aware together. knocked out many a spyware with those puppies
heh, I use SpywareBlaster to prevent too many stuff from installing. Then every once in a while I'd run X-Cleaner and Ad-Ware to kinda clean anything that had been messed with. It's worked well thus far...i haven't found the need to reconfigurate/rebuild my computer for over a year now and it runs just as fast as it did since the last time i reconfiged it.

I am helping people with building and upgrading computers, viruscleaning and maintenance. If I see a product from McAfee in their system, I will ask them if I may remove it! In too many cases, this has solved their problems ( bsod, non-responding apps and generally slow systems ) Symantecs products is better coded, but they grown to big and has become real resource hogs! Don't use "suites", use specialized apps for every task, because more effort has been made to make them good! I use Kerio, Avast, Ad-Aware, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, MRU-Blaster and WebWasher.....but hey! I'm paranoid  cheers
hey cmon dude.. i have been using Mcafee softwares for very long. They never give me any problems.. Only once i gotta a pblm of uninstalling Mcafee Internet security.. But no other pblms.. They detect spywares n viruses better than norton or other stuff....
Symantec products r really a resource hog... thts true.. But Mcafee isint.. Even Mcafee recieved 95% in Viruscan testing ..

It's probably as good as any, and of course their products will satisfy many people. Many others wouldn't know that it may be McAfee's products, which is giving them their random problems! Here's a few old stories, that describes the talented programmers at Mcafee http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/10/26/em...baffles_mcafee/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/10/24/mu...utlook_express/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/12/22/mc...ate_damages_nt/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/11/02/mc...te_freezes_pcs/ Latest Entries

Well, from my experience, Ad-Aware and Etrust have always worked for me. Etrust costs a little bit but is well worth the money. It picks up everything and Ad-Aware does quite a good job. Yeah that's my opinion on everything.
Hi all,
Don't want to get into the "which is best" controversy etc. Everybody has their own oppinion(s).. all probably valid for some reason of personal experience. The issue to remember is that the "spyware/virus etc. wars" is an everchanging, dynamic due to the very nature of the "bugs" out there. All the detection & removal proggies out there will probably have everchanging "rankings" in the battle for who can fix it first. True, even some of the bigger co's have made some major blunders in the past re: messing up peoples computers with their "updates'upgrades" but hey, that's just the "nature" of the territory. My advice is to always keep a "clean" backup copy of your system & only do manual (not automatic) upgrades & then test the "update/upgrade" yourself. Personally, I prefer specific tools rather than "suites" because I think it gives me more control & often some insight into what's going on inside the computer. I you'd like to see a big selection of proggies... check out the "Links" section of MyWebsite. Just some thoughts RGPHNX
I have been spyware free ever since I upgraded Windows to Service Pack 2 and have installed McAfee Security Center 2005. I have not even needed to download Ad-Aware SE or any other spyware removers. This has got to be the greatest thing ever. I have been spyware free for a good 2 months now. I say it was worth the money to get McAfee. By the way, im not even using Mozilla or any other browser, I am using good ole' IE 6!
I say spend the money and the time to update/install Service Pack 2 and McAfee Security Center.
I used almost all NAV's and i was happy with 'em, but when i tried Avast Professional Edition i was very suprised when i realised that NAV slowed my computer a lot comparing to Avast. And Avast finds same viruses like NAV.
