Does anyone know of any GOOD free antispyware software.
I'm spesifically looking for something that can remove "Drivecleaner", "AVSystemcare", and "WinAntivirus".

These are driving me insane, I currently use Superantispyware, but this doesn't remove those.
Any help Please!

Will norton systemworks slow my system down like norton internet security does ? I notice that with systemworks, you also get norton anti-virus. I have never used norton anti virus on it's own, only used it with norton internet security, which i took off because my machines took too long to boot and were sluggish. So will norton systemworks, with the anti virus do the same ? Thanks guys.

I have 2 PC's 1 connected by wire and other wirelessly connected to a netgear router. I have done the usual stuff like stopped broadcasting SSID, enabled WEP (this is a pre-WPA router) and changed the IP addresses from the default (192.168.whatever) to something else.

I have 2 ports forwarded for bittorrent purposes but otherwise nothing else.

I don't have a s/w firewall installed (I do have AVIRA antivirus on both PC's) because I have been told that
a) a router is a h/w firewall
b) Sygate/zonealarm etc get in the way of bit torrents.

Do I have a cause for concern?

I do have plans to upgrade my router to get a WPA enabled one.

Thanks

I keep getting advertisments poping up all the time when i use my internet explorer, in my icon tray at the bottom of the screen there is an invisable icon. these seem to be tracking cookies, (even though i have adequate internet security). How can i stop these cookies from accessing my computer because it is very annoying when you are in the middle of something and then all of a sudden the writing goes very very tiny and the advert comes up on the top of what you are doing.

I've decided to make a pdf document and sell it online. Problem is, I dont know what is the best way to protect it from being stolen. Putting a password on it wont work because if it gets distributed, they will send others the password to open it. I've seen other methods from pdf's i've bought online which just dont work & are really unpopular, such as encrypting the document with the buyers bank details so that they wouldnt dare distribute it themselves.

Is there anyway I can do this?
