NASCAR Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 dear fuzzo, using a third party software to remove the spyware is , ur gathering more carp .most of the third party software doesn’t mean anything. itz only occupying ur virtual memory, RAM and reducing the performances of the PC/Laptop. i recommend you to download ie6 with servise pack 2. where it provides more security features and block pop-up. plus download the microsoft anti spyware for free. this might solve ur problems. if not try the McAfee SMB edition with antispyware.( i would recommend McAfee enterprise edition 8.0i with anti spyware) use the McAfee evaluation for three months and try..!! cheers roshan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U run it when u want to. Its not supposed to actively prevent spyware from coming on like an anti-virus program. Just a cleanup tool. And I'd recomend Firefox over IE6 right now. There is gonna be plenty of competition between the two in the future, but currently, Firefox is the best. But u wanna keep ur ie upto date coz there are some things firefox wont do in the name of security that u might actually want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GihanFX Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hey Guys to get rid of spy ware, viruses & other stuff U need to do simple things , and in my network system i do not have any trouble with viruses, Trojan and spy ware , when U browsing the Internet sometime some pop ups will appear ( increase ur computer speed by 80% ) or ( ur computer infected with viruses ) so then they install some beta software that causes big troubles And specially P2P software spread viruses So the best thing is to use WinXP Professional with SP2 Update, good anti virus software , good spy ware remover + a good fire wall ( i use Norton Anti virus 2005 + Ad-Aware SE Personal + Norton Personal Fire wall 2006) so every Sunday i scan all my computers for viruses & spy ware so i did not had any trouble or data loss by any virus, Trojan , or spy ware **** Ad-Aware SE Personal is Recomended By Microsoft ****** ( And i Recomend it 2 ) Gihan Out- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
