Does anyone here know a good free spyware remover I can download ?
I never really concerned myself with spyware because I don't use the internet for financial transfers of any kind, but I recently decided to check if any 'unwanted software' was installed and the list I got from a few programs was quite big (over 200 files), so I'd like to get rid of them now...
Ad-Aware and Spybod.
Spybot - Search & Destroy :charge:
yeah, those work miracles , be sure to update them to their latest versiosn though.Quote:

I highly recommend Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy.
Both are FREE, and they are updated all the time...
Don't surf the internet without them...
Cheers!
Agreed. i use them both and when i check for spyware i run both back to back, just to double check.Quote:

Hijackthis.exe is also priceless.
Hitman Pro is a Dutch free anti-spyware programme that integrates most available freeware such as Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, CWShredder, etcetera, as well as any payware you have installed on your computer. Hitman's own heuristic analysis is excellent, too.
Another good free anti-spyware programme is the German AntiVir PersonalEdition.
Hijackthis is indeed important, but so is Pocket Killbox, a little gadget that allows you to get rid of files that stubbornly refuse to allow deletion by normal anti-spyware. Handle with care...
