I've got some major spyware problems thanx to my sister and all the damn sites she goes to, so im wondering what the best spyware/adware scanner is? ive got a couple but they dont seem to eliminate the problems very well, and i often have to go searching through many folders in the windows explorer to find the little basterd program thats screwing w/ my inet.

--We all know the real way spyware gets on the system...

Clean it with Spybot S&D, then clean the registry out with RegCleaner, or use regedit to do it yourself.

no offence, but I had norton for 4 years and it ruined our computer by not stopping any viruses or such. We just bought McAffee last year and we never have any more problems. it kills all viruses and spyware and adware and bad cookies with extreme prejudice. and then it pees on them.

hehehe

I run a combination of Norton Firewall, AdAware,exTrust Shield and McAfee AntiVirus. It works well so far...

Spyware Blaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com
Spyware S&D: http://www.spybot.info/en/home/index.html

They both work. I have had no problems with them.

I don't get spyware, thanks to my mac ;) And for when I am on my PC (which isn't very often) i find that bazooka works well for me. Don't know where to find it though...

I run a combination of not being a moron when I surf the net and regularly checking for spyware (twice weekly). Spybot S&D is my personal favorite, but Ad-Aware is good too.
