i tot ad-adware is for protect the advertisement pop up only?not to protect the trojan,spyware etc.

huh? Ad-Aware is a spyware protection software....if u wanna block those lousy + annoying ad pop-ups, try using Mozilla Firefox browser....neva eva use IE...

yea. Mozilla Firefox is highly recommended (by me ) i tried spyware doctor before.. quite good, but bad thing is no $$ to buy. hmm.. i agree. ad-aware's the best

this is a good software which is differ from other
where it pbserve and guard our pc and alert us when the culprit want to attack and execute and modify our OS....

Have anyone here tried a-squared it remove Trojan , Dialer and Spyware...
Here the Link http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

perhaps we should open another thread just for FREE antispyware applications.

Specify those are free within the list wouldnt be better?

great idea... that would make life easier

Anybody going to do that? I guess I shall start it off...

Ad-aware SE Personal -- FREE
Spybot Search & Destroy -- FREE
A-squared Free Edition -- FREE (The name says so already)
Bazooka Scanner -- FREE
Spyware Blaster -- FREE (Unless you want Automatic Updates...)

Ok, I have been doing this researches for quite some times and trying many spyware remover softwares before. My recommendation is installing zone alarm anti spyware and ad-adware SE together at one time. This 2 spyware removers are the best now.

Besides that, install McAfee SIteAdvisor in order to guide u from surfing the net and preventing you from entering some dangerous websites. I had one bad experience before where I entered a website that I thought I can get my spyware software there. Who knows my pc get hijacked and whenever I tried to online, my ip will redirect to its website.I downloaded its so called spyware removal and in fact, my pc get infected by 70++ of viruses and 70++ malware!! My pc hang. I have forgotten the website url. Anyway, McAfee SiteAdvisor is one of my recommendation.

The following websites are free virus or spyware scanners.Hope it helps.

a) www.pandasoftware.com (Find activescan)
b) www.kaspersky.com (find virusscanner) ==kaspersky is popular now although sometimes there might be some fake alarms.
c)www.housecall.trendmicro.com====pc cillin
d) security.symantec.com. find virus scanner as well=====norton.

For service pack 2, they require u to download active x into your pc before the scan starts. So, enable your active X and let them install some small size files into your pc first.

Gd luck.
