spyware search&destroy v1.4 is no longer updated since year 2005. So they might not be able to clean the recent spywares.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
thanks.

would be great if we're just listing but aren't the antispyware programs listed above by ranking of some sort?

ad-aware also recently no updates for quite some time already. no more spyware attacks?

It is not that the program can't clean new spyware. If you notice, spyware and adware "births" have greatly reduced. Of course there is no need to update the program, only the definition files. Phishing and Pharming is the current trend. LOL.

On the post by geforce1982, you can only utilize Active X if you are using IE. So, be careful when surfing using IE. It is known for all sorts of exploits, especially using Active X. Please watch out for BOGUS SITES.

Prevx is a good Malware protection software Lots of them discuss it over wilder security forum...

This ad aware, good in protecting or destroying?
It seems when used to destroy Spy/Malware...it's not that good.
I did scan a few times...the spy/malware stayed there and did not go away.

Did you update it to the latest definition?

I did.

I use both Ad-aware Personal Edition and Spybot S&D because some of them cannot detect certain spyware so need you'll need both software to ensure you're free from spyware.

That's weird... Ad-Aware never fails me.

I guess you're lucky.
Just formatted my hard drive

crap...got hit again.
when off the firewall...got 62 spam already when scanning with ad-aware
format again i guess.
Now, off the firewall

what the he77 is this:

NATS firewall don't help much either.

L2m?

My god. Wait.

Please download Adaware SE and install it if you don't have it already. Make sure it's the newest version and check for any updates before running it. Go to this Site to get the plug-in for fixing VX2 variants. Also make sure to Customize the settings in Adaware for better scan results. Run the scan and fix everything that it finds.

try this spyware doctor 4
www.pctools.com

you can pm the code for full version to remove the threats

try it and you will discover many spywares that are not detected by windows defender

Anyoe tried the products from Ahn Labs?
The salesguy said its the best in Korea and used by TMNET.
Its an antispyware and antivirus combo.

Done a quick googling about Ahn Labs, seems like they have Security Response too...

but want a cheap and okay alternative for my company.
dowan some pariah thing loh.
never reli see this in the market b4 so abit worried.
but the big 3 antivirus companies are getting abit too much with their pricing

hi..need some help..
i used Ad-aware Personal Edition to scan my drives and 170 files detected.. but how to remove those quarantined files??
thanks..

They are backup copies. Look for an icon that looks like a "LOCK". Remove the files in there to remove Quarantined files. Cheers!

For Raikkonen's case, I think you should get CWS Shredder and Kill2Me to remove the CoolWebSearch and Look2Me malware. Good Luck!
