Recommended Protection Programs

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
• SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
• IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
• WinPatrol to monitor any changes that programs make to the registry.

If you do not have a firewall, here are 4 free ones available for personal use:

• ZoneAlarm
• Sygate Personal Firewall
• Kerio Personal Firewall
• OutPost Firewall

In today’s world you MUST have an Antivirus program. If you do not have one, here are 3 FREE ones available for personal use:

• Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus System
