Answer 2

If you need a free one then I'd definitely go for the AVG Anti-Spyware free version. Be careful about downloading just any old anti-spyware programme from the internet as some of these have spyware already installed. Sounds daft but, sadly, true. Read around a bit and see wht others are recommending.

Answer 3

i recommend the following

go to the microsoft home page, go to downloads and get windows defender

it is a real time, anti-virus, anti-spyware software that updates daily (if you will set it to do that, scans the computer constantly) but does not affect CPU time.

I also run norton anti-virus with firewall so I have a 3 layer protection

the windows defender can be networked to alert microsoft of an attack on your computer which then alerts the rest of the world of the coming attack. It also allows your computer to be alerted if there is an attack in some other area of the world.

i have that option turned on, and have been virus free for 2 years now, spy ware free for 2 years now, and i like it

good luck to you
email me if I can be of further help to you

Answer 4

Comodo BOClean
BOClean scans in real time, meaning it is always working, not like some of the other free programs like Adaware. Adaware is very good at removing spy-ware after you are infected. BOClean monitors all programs accessing memory and stops them before they can install

While you are there, you may want to checkout their new firewall and anti virus.

Been using them for years. Good Stuff for free.

Anti Spyware

Answer 6

Windows Defender (no, I'm not a noob)


EDIT: I stopped ising Adaware and Spybot years ago because they kept ruining legitimate parts of programs I was using that WAS NOT spyware or adaware, such as Quicken and such. If you just surf or play games, then they are fine, but if you use your PC for running programs, doing finances, or anything that us old folks would use it for, then steer away from Adaware and spybot.

Answer 7

Try Ad-Ware 2007 from Lavasoft

Answer 8

I used piratebay.org to download Kazpersky Virus and anti-spyware protection. If you go on the website they explain exactly what you need to download any programs etc. Also, the password for unlocking the software is also included as well........

Answer 9

just go to google and download google updater .
Select the Spyware Doctor software and download it.
Install Spyware and do a full scan.
It will show all the spywares and adwares,infected files, malicious scripts,etc.
