Title: Spybot Search & Destroy Post by: JudgeNot on June 29, 2005, 05:41:21 PM I don’t know if anyone here uses Spybot – but if you have popup problems you can’t seem to get rid of, it’s because spyware has been installed on your PC without your knowledge/permission. Since I began using “Spybot Search & Destroy” my problems have almost completely disappeared. I run the program about every 2-weeks, or when I have a noticeable problem.
It’s easy to use, easy to install, it’s FREE and it’s safe. It is recommended by a lot of folks I’ve learned to trust over the years (PC Magazine, for one.) If you’re interested, one of the many places you can download it is from here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html) Just an FYI that could be a blessing!

It seems computers are as individual as humans. ;D Title: Re:Spybot Search & Destroy Post by: Soldier4Christ on June 29, 2005, 11:24:44 PM I used Spybot S&D for a long time. Then I tried out the Microsoft AntiSpyware and found that it caught a lot of spyware that Spybot didn't.
I am using hardware and software firewalls now for a bout a year as well as Firefox. I havn't had any spyware or virus attacks in that whole time. Title: Re:Spybot Search & Destroy Post by: Joey on June 30, 2005, 06:47:04 AM You can never use enough programs to keep your PC running well.
I use Spybot and also AdAware and find they are excellent programs. One will normally pick up something that the other one may miss. Like Pastor Roger, i have also started to use microsofts anti spyware program and find its very good. Of course, i use firefox for all my browsing and have my cookies selected to ask me every time, so when i come to do a scan it is very rare that i even have 1 tracking cookie. |
