spyware scanner references

onthebrinc · 11-27-2007, 05:36 AM

Hello Everyone,

I am utilizing McAfee as my protection of choice and I used to use xofsoftse spyware remover. I was thinking of trying a new spyware remover before I renewed xofsoftse. As part of Comcast internet toolbar it has a free spyware removal tool but I have always heard of utilizing multiple spyware software. Since there are way to many bad ones out there I wanted to hear if anyone has anything great to say about a particular program. Free is always better but a great working program is what im after. In past spyware removers I would scan and get things with one scanner that another would not find and then it would find them again right after deleting the spyware?

I have a 4year (1year hard drive) old dell inspiron 8600, Windows xp sp2, 90gb, (only half full) ,1.7 mhz processor, 512 ram. I generally communicate and photo edit with my computer with some video editing in there also.

Thanks

jeff

just about everybody agrees that superantispyware, adaware, and spybot s&d are good antispyware programmes. there are several tutorial/sticky's at the top of each page here at techsupportforums. read them. there are probably links to each one of these programmes, plus lots of great info.

onthebrinc,

Like what ejames82 has mentioned before, i think it's not a bad idea to read those stickies before you post a thread.
Anyway, here is the shortcut link for spywares:

However, if you have time, please read the following sticky:

Wish you luck,
