Okay, just which programme is the best to have on your PC ????
I have a number of anti-spyware/adware programmes [along with firewall/anti-virus] and everytime I try a new one it finds a load that the others didn’t.
FFS :roll:
I keep everything up-to-date so that isn’t the problem – but all I want is for my laptop to be in the best shape it can – and oh how I try to do that !
Any suggestions ?
I have the same problem Morty- I can’t find one to suit all, so I have 4- run them all once a week
For Free.. Adaware and Spybot seem to be the best, however I support them with Spyblaster which stops a load of spyware getting through
Free for virus scan is AVG and seems pretty comprehensive-
Cutting the cr*p- looks like you’re gonna need more than one
Hijackthis is a really good at scanning your registry too
Well I have:-
– AVG
– Adaware
– Spyware Blaster
– Spybot Search & Destroy
– Doctor Alex
– Ewido
– Microsoft Antispyware
– NTL Netguard
– HijackThis
– Tune Up Utilities 2004 [which is great for registry]Then to top it all off, I tried the one that suggested by dropped-anchor and it found about 14 items that none of the above had found.
I mean how far do you go ?????
I don’t mind having a number of programmes to run – but just the right ones !
Wow!!!
If anything got through all that lot- it must be very worthy. Don’t know what the answer is then, I thought I was pretty comprehensive on my anti virus and spyware stuff but you take the honeypot.
As a matter of interest, what did dropped suggest? – may try it too!!

The link is on here – the only thing is – it will scan but you have to pay to upgrade it……………
But it did find 14 items the others didn’t. I’m just re-running the others right now and they have found 5 or 6 items between them so will wait until they finish then try this new one again.
So at the moment…………I give up !
Morticia your still using Tune Up utilities 2004? Update to V.2006.

I think Adwarespy has got to be the overall best spy/ad/mal app going.
Cheers SuperA will download this. Although I have to say 2004 has been very good and have been pleased with it :D
Will have a look at Adwarespy.
Mortymoo xoxoxo
hijakers/trojans/spyware/adaware/malware, etc. I had a look through them and unticked about 5 which were other Anti Spyware programmes, which means at least 400 nasty germs were infecting my laptop. Suffice to say that I have decided to purchase [yes purchase !] Adwarespy [£23]. Money well spent :D
And TuneUp Utilities 2006 is fab ! my laptop is speedy and will be even better once I get rid of this spyware shyte :D
Done neally every think thats been on a few threads to make it safe and faster its seems safer now but still aint fast on start up :roll:
