For spyware solutions, Spybot is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en

Hi! I have a few good programs (that I have been trying thoroughly over the past few months) that are great for removing pesky spyware from your pc.  Either of the following two would work fine:\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nLavasoft Adaware Personal Edition:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nAlso, in the upcoming version of Windows (named Vista), there is a chance we may have antispyware software integrated at no extra fee! (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx )\n\nAnd finally, CCleaner (CrapCleaner) is a great freeware programming for deleting junk files, effectively speeding up some areas of your PC that can slow it done over time.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nGood luck, you won't regret using these programs.

You can use Spy Removal Software and Trojan Removal Software:\n1-The best Trojan removal software is Trojan Remover or Trojan Hunter\n2-And for spy removal software you can use Kasper Sky or Scan SpyWare v3.2 or  SpywareBlaster 3.1 .\nSome Useful links for download : http://www.scanspyware.net/ss_install.exe\nhttp://www.trackzapper.com/download/tzsar7403.exe\n(Crack http://crackdb.com/get.php?id=15597)

For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!

use Ad-aware SE Personal software to remove all adware and spyware!!! it's #1 best software in 2004 and 2005..it's free\n\nDescription and Download here:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Please have the patience to read ALL of these:\n\n1.Download CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ and run it once daily before shutting down your computer. It removes all the trash files that are created while surfing through the net. Use its Issues section once every 2 weeks to delete all the unused registry keys. If you have a lot of Auto Start entries, then you can remove them from its Tools>Startup. But keep the important ones like firewall and the real-time protection shields of your anti-virus and anti-spyware.\n\n2.Keep a decent anti-virus, a strong firewall and two anti-spywares in your computer. Always keep the real time protection shield (or resident shield) of the anti-virus and one of the anti-spyware active. Update them and scan your computer once every week with both the anti-spyware and once every 2 weeks with anti-virus. I have given the links to some free and good anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall; get them all:\nAVG:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free/set...\n\nAdAware SE: http://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\nSpyBot Search and Destroy: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/spy...\n\nComodo Personal Firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/d...\n\nNever keep two anti-virus or firewall on a single system. If you are already using a good anti-virus or firewall, then you need not download the corresponding one.\n\n3.Keep a virtual memory booster as an auto-start entry. It frees the clogged RAM. I use RAM Booster, which is very effective. Here is the link to download it:\nhttp://www.download.com/rambooster/3000-...\nAfter downloading it, follow the steps:\n*.Click on Edit>Options and tick the follow options:\n1.Set auto optimisation on\n2.Show CPU usage\n3.Start minimised\n4.Launch automatically at start up\nAlso, increase the auto optimisation level and 'Mb of RAM to free at auto level' as per your requirement.\n\n4.Keep at least 35% of your C: free. Transfer all the music, image and video files to other drives.\n\n5.Defragment your hard drives (especially C:) once every month. To defrag, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Defragment.\n\n6.Get the free Google Web Accelerator to boost up your Internet speed. \n   http://webaccelerator.google.com/\n\n\n\nAll these will most certainly speed up your computer. Good Luck!\n:-)

Spyware is a category of programs that keep logs of certain things you do on your computer and sends reports back to a certain person. Spyware usually keeps an eye out for email addresses and credit card numbers.\n\nAdware, however, is a category of programs that just fill your computer with advertisements.\n\n\nThe best way to get rid of spyware is to use a program called Spybot: Search & Destroy.\n\nFor adware removal, you'll want AdAware (note the spelling).\n\nBoth of these programs can be downloaded for free at http://www.download.com\n\n\nJust be sure not to run them both at once, as you may mess things up if they're both doing a computer scan at the same time.

There's a lot of anti-spyware software out there to help you get rid of spyware. . . try "Yahoo Toolbar" which includes anti-spyware program or try Microsoft anti-spyware tool found in the downloads section of their webpage www.microsoft.com\n\nThese are just some of the free versions of anti-spyware and are just as good as some of the versions able to be purchased at sites such as www.download.com

Go into the control panel.  There should be, depending on what your control panel is set to, some link to add/remove programs.  Go through that and remove anything you don't want.\n\nAlso, it's probably a good idea to install and run an anti spyware program.  I always like Spybot Search & Destroy:\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/

First get go to Download.com and get Spybot Search and Destroy. Update the definitions to Adaware and Spybot. If you are running XP, right click my computer, choose Properties, and then choose system restore. Turn off System Restore. \n\nRun both Adaware and Spybot. Clean everything out. \n\nReboot the computer. Boot into safe mode. Do this by pressing F8 continuosly while the computer is booting up.\n\nWhen you are in safe mode, run Adaware and Spybot again.\nClean everything out again.\n\nReboot into normal Windows.\n\nRun Adaware and Spybot again. If everything comes up clean, turn your System restore back on, and hopefully it will be all set. \n\nThis is a fairly lengthy process and usually it will do the trick.\n\nIf this still doesn't work, you may have to resort to professional help or reformat. This is the first step (and by far the easiest) in removing the offending malware.\n\nGood luck.
