Getting rid of the spyware adware from special sites
 
These are free and work amazing.
Since someone mentioned about spyware and other crap on a thread i made i would add this to help everyone.
I got some crap on my computer awhile ago forcing a search page and had to use these programs to get rid of it.
Since it is mainly on special pages i thought it best to add it in this forum as it is where we see crap.

there is spybot patch 1.3tx out.. I have it.. it fixes a few issues with it.. I will see if I can find the link later and post it here.

Microsoft Beta spyware is pretty good too and doesn't eat a lot of resources..

Adaware SE IMO is useless..

spysweeper is good too but you only get 30 day trial :smilie_da

Adaware 6.0
spybot search and destroy
and Microsoft spyware beta

These are all that you need to get rid of spy ware.
For a Firewall Zonealrm suites with their built in antivirus. It uses less resources then McAffe and Norton. It actually catches more then both of them.

For your ram, I would recommend memturbo to help freeing up you memory speeds.

I still prefer going through the registry manually and with HIJACKTHIS to get rid of spyware along with running SpyBot and Ad Aware

Spysweeper works the best, and it is SOOO EASY to crack.

1. Run the exe file
2. Reg with this serial: SSDC-ONLN-AAAA-JFJO-PZVL
3. When it gets to the end and gives you the option to run it, STOP the app
4.Go to the download forlder, usually c:/windows/programs/webroot/spysweeper
open the "Install.dat" file, by right clicking on it and using open with notepad.
Change "dl=365" to "dl=9999" It will extend your application into the year 2031

ENJOY

I think webroot already broke that up.. I tried that before along with using a patch exe file.. and none of them works.. tried it on 3 different computers.. all not networked.. on different ISP.. all basically crashed the same time.. tried hackin and all and none works anymore..

I find as mentioned that zone alarm will block most of it.. norton 2k5 for worm protection is a safe bet..

I run now Microsoft beta sweeper
Spybot 1.3 Tx
adware SE * once in a while *

with
Norton 2k5
AVG 7 Pro
and Escan

If it's free, then why did it ask me for $29.99 US after scanning my computer and offering to clean it?

SKperformance 04-10-2005 01:25 PM

Which program did you see that on?
Their are like 8 different ones mentioned.

Low-Low 04-10-2005 02:41 PM

Spykiller.

SKperformance 04-10-2005 11:33 PM

I never mentinoed anything about spykiller, i think you quoted the wrong person bud.
I have no clue about that program, i only mentioned spyware blaster and spybot search and destroy.
