viruses, spyware - whats best software to clean?

Mike AI · 01-28-2005

I think I am having some problems with my desktop, when I try to run updates on spybot searchand destroy - its actually blocking the detection rules from downloading.

Cockholsters!

I've had no problems since switching from IE to Netscape.

Try running it in safe mode Mike. Dunno if that will work but it's worth a try.

Newton · 01-28-2005

Try downloading them directly

spy sweeper actually found some that spybot missed .. www.webroot.com

You could try running the win doctor from norton, it has mixed reactions from some, but i like it a alot and it normally sorts out the pcs

Mike, PestPatrol is the best
run their free scan http://store.ca.com/dr/v2/ec_main.entry25?...iates&sid=35715

spybot is garbage to be honest with you

Do Not run just ONE prog to clean malware! - I have many different

programs and run them often times back to back, you said spybot S & D,

OK, that's 1, and it's free, so also get (free) adaware (lavasoft)

and then others, mind, do more than sweep with spybot, do the immunize, too

and as for that have spywareblaster by javacool, better than spybot

for active protection, I have all these plus paid version of spysweeper (webroot)

which both does scans and active protection which they call shields,

I also have McAfee anti-spyware, also have "a squared" (free), = A^2

bazooka scanner for quick scan of a limited # of things (free),

and swatit (free / old / and maybe worthless now)

this is just for spyware/adware/malware.

...of course I have antivirus and a firewall too.....

cwshredder is worth getting too as it is free

Nice catch partner

OldJeff · 01-29-2005

Spyware Doctor seems to catch most of them for me before they happen.

Of course I limit my surfing to places I know for the most part.
