what is the best program to get rid of spyware...and how much does it cost?

Answer 1

Get F Secure. You'll love it. I had a serious spyware, adware issue with a hijacker, and it was the only thing that remedied it. I love this program, but you can only use it free for 30 days. I'll subscribe I like it so much.

Answer 2

Well i hate the cost of these virus/ spyware removal programs. It almost like they have a division of their company to come up with new spyware and viruses. Anyway, i'm a big avg fan and i know they have a avg spyware filter.
Here is a totally free way to clean alot of crap off your computer. I discovered this method myslef and it works great.

Download

run full system scan
make sure its not a quick system scan
this is only a trial version, but its good diagnostic software
once the full scan is done:
maximize spyware docter
go to each problem it found and delete the file or registry
for deleting the file, some of the folders may be hidden, so go to

start, control panel, (make sure your in classic view)click on folder options, "view" tab, click "show hidden files and folders", uncheck "hide protected operating system files", OK

Now hunt and destroy, it should give you the trace on how to find every single folder

to destroy infected registry files:

start, run, type: regedit, (spyware docter will abbreviate Classes_root to CR and Local_machine to LM and so forth)


hunt and destroy
be CAREFUL when modifying REGISTRY, or any other SYSTEM FILE only delete the ones spyware docter TELLS YOU to
don't forget to empty recycling bin
happy virus killing :)

Answer 3

Hello. If you'd like a free program, then I'd recommend SPYWARE TERMINATOR. It will keep your system running good as it functions in real time. It will let you know when you've got those terrible MRU's on your system. Should you want software to buy, then I'd recommend SpySweeper. It's an excellent program that will guard your homepage, and usually there are upgrades which will come up for you to download. Aside from that, I'd recommend getting AVG's latest free antivirus protection and CCleaner to clean out your cache quickly and thoroughly. Good luck.

Answer 5

Must spyware programs are free. The two I use are
Window Defender and Yahoo anti-spyware.
It's good to have more then one spyware program.

Then along with that you need one virus protection. There are free ones out there and the one I heard that is good is avg. Otherwise most Internet service providers offer free virus protection. I'm using the yahoo virus protection.
