You can never get rid of spyware forever, but you can use anti-spyware programs like Ad-Aware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy, and there's more out there. You can find them both at www.download.com.

As you're exposed to spyware every time you surf the 'net, you can't get rid of all of it permanently (once for all time). Look on-line for two utilities: Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D. Both are free downloads and can be configured to look for updates regularly. Run both (each has the ability to identify and remove spyware the other may not) right away, then configure to update and run on a set schedule - maybe one every Monday at 2:00 am and the other every Friday at 2:00 am. That should keep you ahead of the spyware.

I look forward to you visiting my site, and scanning your system with Invisus Direct. I will be very curious to know what Invisus found on your computer. I had over 70 hackers on my computer even with using Norton...and that free AVG! Now if you have any problems and questions about the scan, I can walk you through it.

Let me just share with you at this time (other than the security you will have with Invisus) great advantages of this program, other than less than .49 cents a day *ALL INCLUDED*!

INVISUS Identity Theft Insurance-$25,000 for each spouse, no deductible. Compare this to Wells Fargo who offers only $10,000 to ONE spouse, has a deductible and you are allowed only one occurence per year, for $12.99. NO computer protection.

INVISUS Desk Top Firewall

INVISUS Anti Virus Guard

INVISUS Spyware and Hacker Tool Detection

INVISUS Patch Management

INVISUS Security Alerts

INVISUS Premium Tech Support-FREE, speaks English and is IN the United States. This is one of the most important offerings of our service! You should always call tech support FIRST if there is a problem with your computer. If it is a security issue they will help you, even accessing your computer remotely. If it is not a security issue they will guide you on where to go for help with the challenge. Do you realize, that if you had Norton or McAfee you would pay by the minute for their help? You will be SO impressed when you use ours!

These are just a few..there are so many many more benefits! I will brief you with just a few of the major companies that use this same type of security (Google, Homeland Security...YOUR bank..ect,), this was amazing to me that I could have 'their' same type of security in MY own home! And also I have attached a few of the awards and certifications that Invisus has!

Again, please don't forget to let me know what the program found!!

Also there are several ways for me to provide these services to you! Once you are ready I will share them with you. I dont want to overload you in one email!

Thank you,

Jennifer Sasser

Unfortunately, you can't get rid of it permanently, but you can keep it at bay.

You have to run the spyware utilities often and keep them up to day. If you are on the Internet a lot..you have to run the programs a lot.

If you don't have anti-spyware, go to www.download.com and download Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware. Both are free and do a decent job of getting rid of the most common spyware.

In a word you can not, unless, you do not use your computer. Dealing with it is another story. Go to CNET.Com and look for free downloads of programs such as SpyBot and AdAware. Many internet providers allow you to download Norton AntiSpyWare for free. The key is to use any/all of these options. It is a pain in the tuckus but it works. Put the programs on your desktop and use them everytime before you log off.
Anytime you play a video, a game, music you will get spyware. Since most (all) of us do so we all get the same problem. It is part and parcel of the price of doing so. Keep on doing what you are doing but implement the practice of removing the bandits through these CNET programs. Best of all they are free to download and use.

If you want to get rid of spyware permanently, here's what to do:

Format your hard drive. In fact, do a low-level format.
Reinstall your operating system.
Reinstall all applications.
Never connect to the internet.
Only load programs where you have personally purchased the disc and unwrapped it yourself.

That's the only way to make sure you never get spyware.

However, you can also make sure you run anti-virus programs and a good firewall, and don't use P2P services like limewire, bearshare, bittorrent or anything like that.

You can't really get rid of it. But i would start with finding a new hobby. And stop writing so much on the computer. Do physical activities with your friends. Set a goal for yourself to only stay on the computer for two hours then cut down every month. It could save you a few bucks on the electric bill!!! ;). Basically find something else to do, if you can't look at what movies are coming on, what events that sound kinda cool. Be out there instead of inside here.

Well, firsts off there ain't no permanently. You will always encounter spyware. So, what you really need is something with which you can remove it.

Get Spybot S&D from http://www.safer-networking.org/ and install it.

Next get Ad-Aware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and install it.

Now, run Spybot. After that, reboot and run Ad-Aware.

You might not have gotten rid of ALL of it, but you have a better chance than with any other combination of software.

if you have tried using good virus/spyware removers like symantec antivirus or kapersky antivirus and the problem is still there then you need to reinstall your operating system which i assume is windows. that should fix the problem. to keep it from happening again however, get one of the antivirus programs i mentioned above ( i am pretty sure you know where to get it from for free ) and it will protect your computer all the time. then you should stop using limewire, or bearshare, or morpheus, or whatever you are using, stop using it so much.
