Adware/spyware

reviewer · 12-14-2006, 06:31 PM

What do you use for spyware removal? I use both Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. They're both free programs and between the two my system has been very clean.

I use the Search and Destroy one. I have a question though. Are there any that are not compatiable together? I am just curious if anyone has ever had a problem running two different ones? Thanks

I use a program called Spyware Terminator. So far it's worked very well for me. At least, as far as I know it has!

I have never heard of Spyware Terminator. My brother is looking for one. I will have to mention this one. Thanks

I use Norton and Macaffee, but will use free, online scans every once in a while to remove things the other two don't catch.

I have used Macaffee before and it actually did a great job. I have not looked around lately for any new free ones that may be out now. There always seems to be a free one.

I've never had much luck with McAfee. They do good virus protection but don't seem to do such a good job of screening out spyware and adware.
