Spybot - Destroys Adware/spyware

The following link is to the download page for Spybot - S&D on the www.webattack.com website. Spybot S&D download page

After I ran this program, it found 29 instances of installed applications on my system that were sending information on my computer use back to the company that wrote the software. By highlighting and clicking on anything Spybot finds, it will give you detailed information on that application. It is also very easy to select all the spyware/adware applications you want to disable, and with a click they can no longer send information back to their manufacturer.

QUOTE
Spyware S&D does warn you that some applications are written so that if you disable the adware/spyware feature, the program will not run.


If that is the case, you are better off uninstalling the program and finding a substitute, in my opinion. Just by browsing www.webattack.com and www.nonags.com you'll find thousands of nice freeware applications.

I have had Spybot software at one time and yes it warns you after you click it to run that some programs may or may not work after Spybot finishes running. I found that it zapped two of my messenger plugins that I had installed to add more features to my current messengers. Also, if you have any of those music file sharing programs, you better get ready for it to not work right anymore. wink.gif

But it is a good program, if you are worried about having a lot of spyware on your harddrive.

I couldn't agree more with you msslmshdy30. i have this program installed n my computer and i think its one of the reasons why all my programs are acting funny. Spybot is real good but you need to use it wisely.

Here is another spyware program: Spyware Begone

You know viruses, worms, trojans and thieves when you see them. But the problem is with that which you cannot see. Spyware Begone sees those Spyware and Advare which your anit-virus protection misses out. This tool is a powerful wall against the Spyware which can sneak into your computers bypassing the virus protection software. It removes unwanted infections, including keyloggers etc.
