After patching the registry, these are a MUST:
Download Ad-Aware from here:
http://lavasoft.element5.c
Install, UPDATE and run.
You may need to reboot and run again to clean all the nasties that cannot be deleted at once (“in use”).
Also excellent is SpyBot Search & Destroy available here:
http://www.safer-networkin
Install, UPDATE and run.
You may need to reboot and run again to clean all the nasties that cannot be deleted at once (“in use”).
Even if Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D are similar, they do clean different things. You should have both of them and use REGULARLY.
You can also install “preventive” software that will help you control these nasties:
SpywareBlaster:
http://www.javacoolsoftwar
Avoids malicious Active X installs.
Advantage: no system resources used!!!
Just download, install and UPDATE.
SpywareGuard:
http://www.javacoolsoftwar
Monitors for attempts to install malicious software.
All of them extremely useful but you must keep them UPDATED.
