Malware Prevention Tools
These programs configure your computer to prevent known malware-related changes. You can have more than one of these at a time and they take up minimal resources.
- SpywareBlaster - Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions. After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items. Check regularly for updates.
- IE-Spyad - Here is an installation guide -> http://www.techsupportforum.com/cont...ticles/63.html
- MVPS Hosts File - extract and double-click the mvps.bat file. This will replace your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites form serving you unsolicited advertisements, preventing your computer from connecting to those sites.
- McAfee SiteAdvisor - helps to warn you before you interact with a dangerous Web site. Works with both IE and Firefox.
- SpywareGuard - real-time protection that detects and blocks spyware before it can execute.
