I need help for completely free anti spyware search and repair?

Question

I work on Windows XP, (Not SP2). I downloaded free version spyware doctor, but it only scans, does not repair. Can you tell me about any link to a reliable anti-spyware tool which will repair in addition to scan?
Please help me as fast as possible?

Answer 1

There are 2 Anti Spy Ware Programs that I like a lot.
Spy Sweeper by Webroot, offers a completely free 30 trial. This program not only removes any spy ware that is on your computer, it also has real time monitoring, so it will prevent any new spy ware from infecting your computer in the future. The second program is called Ad-Aware SE Personal and it's made by Lavasoft. This is an amazing, completely free program, for personal use. It completely removes all ad ware and spy ware from your system. I highly recommend that you down load both of these programs, and see for yourself, how incredible they truly are.

Answer 2

You NEED to update to SP2!!!!!!

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)


The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (www.spybot.info)
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Answer 3

Having read some of the comments posted here, you need some help. Comments re SP2 pack installation are valid. You should do this. You do need antispyaware and antiviral. All the ones I have listed here are very good and are clean sites to download from.

Good Luck!


Antiviral. (free)

AVG free. Excellent protection available from: http://www.Grisoft.com

Don't use two antiviral products together as they may be incompatible. If your Antiviral trial has run out, then remove product from your computer and get the AVG installed.

Anti-spyware (all free)

Essential products are: Adaware SE from: http://www.lavasoft.com

Spybot SD http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

Spywareblaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Windows Defender - from Microsoft downloads.

PC starter kit at download.com 20 of the best recommended programes for people new or less advanced in computers. Check all three pages, at bottom see Security/Tools/Fun

http://www.download.com/PC-Starter-Kit/2001-12350_4-0.html?tag=dir

C Cleaner.http://www.ccleaner.com/

This will tell you a lot about what is on your computer, such as running programmes,cookies, History, settings etc. and will help you clean up and remove unwanted items. Be careful how you use it as it is a very powerful programme and you should read the help index before you do anything with it.

Also recommend Firefox for your browser and Thunderbird for email's go to http://www.mozilla.org

Hope this information is of help to you and others.

Answer 4

Hi there,

Firstly I would avoid AVG, Spybot and Ad-aware. These all used to be very good programs but are now not protecting their userbase anywhere near as good as they used to. Looking at current security program protection scores, these 3 programs consistently appear very close to the bottom of all test results.

I would recommend Prevx1. This has recently been reported as having the most powerful protection and removal capabilities of all security programs currently available. This will scan your machine and remove all infections with their Free Trial & free of charge.

You can download their Free Trial from their website here:
http://www.prevx.com

Answer 5

I would recommend few things that would make your request futile.
First find and apply SP2, Second use Firefox and Thunderbird for web browser and mail client,third do not open exe files that are in your mail and you have no worries ( and do not open any windows shares on your comp).
I have no AV or AS prog on my computer, and also have no problems with viruses and spy-ware. My comps only purpose is
browse web , mail write spreadsheet, text doc, view movies, read books, make some vision docs.
Do not install any new prog that you find on the Net, install only necessary things.
And you will have no worries.

Answer 6

Ok, first of all you NEED to update to service pack 2. It's free and it contains massive and neccessary upgrades to Windows.

So, I use Microsoft's free Windows Defender program available at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Answer 7

Microsoft has produced a later version of a secret agent ware eliminating device(Microsoft homestead windows AntiSpyware), verify MS website, different courses : secret agent ware health care specialist, Webroot secret agent Sweeper, secret agent ware Blaster.
