firefoxthebomb Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I like adaware se professional with adwatch enabled. You can get it at www.lavasoft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I must admit that new M$ Anti-Spy program looks and works very neat..It is in beta version though and it's free for now, but it's loaded with options and settings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 yeh i havent tested it yet on any M$ OS yet their new anti spyware.Might go visit some heavily infected spyware sites later and test it out .But atm i use Adaware and Spybot S&D - also use IE6 which doesnt help, i might change to firefox when i complete my new unattended installation of XP soon.Adaware and Spybot are good for picking up spyware, but whats a good "firewall" for spyware then...besides firefox i guess?

Looneyboy784 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I use spybot SD, AD aware(you get real time protection with paid version), Spywareblaster (prevents spyware),spywaregaurd (real time protection), and Ms antispyware(has active prevention and scanning). along with firefox ths gets rid of almost all spyware. i guss im a little excessive oh well i wish ms would patch the DSO exploit in IE so it wouldnt show up in spybot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Killbits+restricted sites (logon script and auto update), disabled protocols (ITS, MHTML ...) and MS Antispyware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1K Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I wish ms would patch the DSO exploit in IE so it wouldnt show up in spybot You should patch Spybot not IE for DSO exploit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix0978 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I would recommending using 2 spy/adware programs.I use Adware because that gets the mode of everything a does a good job but doesnt get every little thing up. And SpyBot get the things adware doesnt pick up. Very useful! [M]at[R]i[X] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 DSO Exploit was problem, that was solved in SP2. Ninnox is right, detection was disabled in later SPybot versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1K Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 One situation of hard infected PC:The one thing I can say is that these spyware tools are no good when the spyware is already on your PC. I tried every spyware tool that I know about and they all did the same thing, except Ad-Aware SE Pro. Ad-Aware was one of the worst ones, it couldn't detect half of what the others could.

magicfly Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 in my opinion ADAWARE SE is the best, efficient and user-friendly spyware remover available...however also spybot is good but i recommend the first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeeprig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Limited user account, alternative browser (I use Firefox), Kill bits (spywareblaster and blocklist from spywareguide), IESpyad and maybe a host file too.You can then scan with any combination of Ad-aware, Spybot, MS antispyware or HijackThis but you won't find anything.
