Antispyware programs[views:1703][posts:22]____________________________________________ [Jun 21,2007 8:13pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I've been extremely frustrated all day trying to find an antispyware program that doesn't make me have a register key thing after it scans. Are there programs that you know of or use that are completely free and take care of spyware? |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2007 8:34pm - xanonymousx ""] ad-aware works somewhat. |

If you want to rid yourself of spyware, delete the system32 folder. it works wonders. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 21,2007 9:07pm - Niccolai ""] exactly, CTB should have just deleted it when he got the computer. Your computer will probably try and tell you not to, but that's just the virus trying to stay. |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 11:26am - metal_church101 ""] Spybot will be the best free stuff you can get IMHO, but it's free for a reason. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 11:34am - DreamingInExile ""] I have PestPatrol (corporate version) here, and it works pretty well, also, having Windows Defender running as a service isn't a bad idea either |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 11:36am - metal_church101 ""] I still like Webroot Spysweeper the best, but it costs $30. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 12:45pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Spybot and Adaware together do OK, IMHO. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 12:58pm - Niccolai ""] I use a 10-prog approach to cleaning my system. I run a prog called cleanup, then adaware, then spybot, then ewido, avg, panda, activescan, ms antispy, zone alarmtest , and then spyware blaster. If you follow the instructions at geekstogo, you'll eliminate your computer of pretty much every threat. http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Must-Read-B...e-Posting-Hijackthis-Log-t2852.html |

Yeah, and don't forget to delete the windows registry as well. Then you'll have your PC running lightning speed. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2007 2:51pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I have Windows Defender, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and AVG. But I still get this pop-up saying my system detects spyware programs. I spent hours and hours yesterday scanning my computer and getting rid of what I could. Then I tried downloading a number of antispyware programs (Antiworm 2008, SpyCrush, etc. ) that would scan for free but I had to register it for it to delete anything. I was/still am not happy. |

It'll just speed up the process to need to reimage it again if you don't keep more spyware from getting on the machine in the first place. |
