Anti-Spyware ( LYN official software poll results & comments) Bold: freeware Note: Installing additional Anti-Spyware or Anti-Trojan is usually safe for all users. To avoid having multiply real-time protection enabled, always unselect start with system startup, disable shields, guards or any other real-time protection features. Some security softwares are just not compatible with others while others may have high system requirements to run them. Always check the software vendors homepage for system requirements and compatibility issues. If you have anything else that you would like to add to this list, please reply to this thread.

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.

spyware search&destroy v1.4 is no longer updated since year 2005.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.

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.

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.

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. |

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!

HAHA. Now you are really freaked out by the number of security software I use. I test for secure and stable combinations of software. So, you will get mad amounts of security software, like the one in my main rig.
In fact, having Kaspersky alone is more or less safe. I can vouch for that. but then again, Kaspersky is a heavy duty program, so having lighter ones like Spybot and Ad-aware to remove the nasties, and AVG Anti-Spyware (ahem...) to clean the rest up.
Anybody who is really eager to test combos, you can use mine. It has been tested for 6 months, without a glitch. Cheers!

Now, off the firewall what the he77 is this: been using spyware terminator all the year..personally like bout this program because easy to scan and very fast ..but the bad is this spyware terminator doesnt tht strong like others ..i tried to compared two anti spyware programs and the abilities of spyware terminator not tht well ..its jus shows up sum risky files ..not all it shows up ..although i did a deep scanning..last time my pc infected by riskware / spyware and formatted ..the spyware terminator was on it didnt auto detect..so lousy de....after all ..i prefer all in one security program like zone alarm ..etc..better alot..save the ram space ..dont need run two or three security programz .. |

Spyware Doctor is OK. If you are considering GOOD AM Software, give AVG Anti-SPYWARE a try.(NOT AVG Anti-VIRUS) It has the EWIDO Scanning Engine, which was also a superior AM Scanning Engine.
Registry Mechanic problem, I have no experience in using it. Thus, I can't help you. Cheers!

Few years ago people will always recommend ad-aware & spybot but since they have become too popular, malware writers have targeted these specific programs; making it the norton/mcafee of the malware protection world. Personally I have good results with WebRoot SpySweeper and Spyware Doctor but these two are commercial products. One of the best free malware protection I come across is AVG Anti-Spyware. Despite the name, it can also find and remove trojans. But some of us needed more protection because we always visit some dangerous websites (hacking, porn, warez) that we needed a real-time malware protection. Windows Defender is an easy to use program but it only runs in XP & Vista. Thanks to Spyware Terminator, Windows 9x user can also benefit from real-time malware protection. |

QUOTE Few years ago people will always recommend ad-aware & spybot but since they have become too popular, malware writers have targeted these specific programs; making it the norton/mcafee of the malware protection world. Please quote some malware that targets Spybot S&D OR Ad-Aware. I am eager to know. From what I know, Lavasoft and Safer-Networking are slowly "retiring" from the anti-malware field because they are not progressing fast enough. Definitions are issued too slow and are inadequate. I don't remember malware knocking these two by targeting them. Correct me if I am wrong. Spyware Terminator is fine, but I somehow removed it for a reason I can't remember anymore (as it was done so December Last Year). No offense and Cheers! |

Sorry if I misunderstood some of you by saying both programs are targeted. It is more of a social engineering thing, make a copy of those programs but doing the opposite thing. Rogue/Suspect Anti-SpywareA lot of these programs copies and even steal the database of Spybot & Ad-aware making it their own, some even put spyware themselves. Gullible users will never know what hit them if these so-called anti-spyware cleverly change the database of spybot & ad-aware. Us advanced users know how to deal with this but what about the majority of them who just click click click? Sad to say but that's the price of being famous. p/s oh britney why? |

Now since you clear the dust, I admit I was unaware of Spybot & AdAware knock-offs. Now, I understand what you mean by targeted. Mentioning Norton instead makes me misunderstand as malware written to "harm" the software itself. Well, users who just click and don't think, I wouldn't comment. Tired of commenting Cheers! |

I was told by a person in the Sony Style shop that Spybot and Ad-Aware isn't necessary since Vista has its built in Windows Defender, in fact, installing Spybot and Ad-Aware would increase the amount of spy/malware instead How true is this? |

funny nobody mentioned the formidable self acclaimed best anti spyware...Spy Sweeper 5.5
i used to use S& D spybot but it keep detects n cleaned the same spywares over n over....whenever i scan....it really suck imo....no real time in the first place...just cure =.=
while adaware has adwatch 2007 which is not bad, real time....but i did try tht under spysweeper catches more cookies (not critical tho) than any other anti spywares....it claimed 100% detection (in its website n top ten review anti spyware) n stay one notch ahead of all anti spyware....its very good imo....quite comprehensive shield scanner ....
i tried superantispyware Professional....yeah, the professional version....i dono why i uninstall it,hv realtime scanner but i feel sthg incomplete....myb i was wrong but i feel the resource hoggin n tray icon not nice lol....adwatch n spysweeper very cool tray icon lol
so currently i running ad watch 2007 n spy sweeper shield at the same time, real time, doesnt crash....i used to hv bitdefender 2008 n kaspersky 700125 running at same time too but i uninst kas halfway, leaving only bitd now...when real time, operate only one....if scan, use both to scan
dw, os on my centrino 1.5 still running smoothly, probly result from serious tweaking ...hehe...two heads better than one

Please be aware that having a guard does not mean it is everything. Cookies are in fact not important. You can use CCleaner for them. You said Spybot detected the same Spyware again, and again, and again... What was it? Did you report to Spybot's Customer Support? I am very sure they will try their beast to help you. Please do not be tricked into having a false sense of security. Constant Vigilance is needed. Cheers! |

If losing a privacy is not important enuff, then by all means, u might think of linking all your personal details to include health status (could affect your employment, insurance rates- AIDS, and other serious illnesses) to your Smart ID Card or ATM card or cerditcard. I cant imagine that. The worst part about cookies in the net is that it collects all the information about u, what u like (porns), what u dont like, what your preference are, etc etc. Just like someone is following every moves of yours with video camera. Anyone would be scare of that. By the way, thanks for telling me the forum rules. CHeers |

I would not know whether the last sentence was added with cheek or not, I will not pursue it.
Privacy is up to the user. If the person was to be anonymous, by all means, delete the cookies. simple.

I feel that the program is overbloated and is not performing. It has been dropped from my recommend list of Anti-Malware Programs. My current updated recommend list for Anti-Malware Programs: 1. Spybot S & D (Forever strong. LOL) 2. Spyware Terminator (This was dropped once - Relegated. . Now, it is back on my list again!) 3. SpywareBlaster (Prevention is sometimes better than Cure) 4. AVG Anti-Spyware (Due to its Legacy EWIDO Scanning Engine.) ~Cheers! |

My PC have 2GB RAM and Spyware Doctor alone used 200+ MB of memory. Didn't feel any lag but for an antispyware to suck up so much juice, hell even Firefox didn't use that much ram. I'm not surprised it slowed down many underpowered PC.
Sorry, I uninstalled it and never to be installed again.

i would still say spyware doctor starter edition (free) is the best
yesterday my old desktop's internet explorer (1gb ram) got bothered by some chinese website's spywares
keep popping up even without IE on
i installed spyware doctor from google pack (slightly older version) and 6 types of spywares in total of 118 infections caught and cleaned (including trojans. ad-aware and spybot only detect tracking cookies most of the times)
and tata, my computer is free from infection again!!
fast scanning. can be scheduled. recommended!
and oh ya it only takes up 6mb of my ram
only a bit lag during scheduled scan

Based on their mass storage of community protection database, your computer will be protected from various spyware or trojan from penetrate, which whitelist or blacklist is determined from. And there's also on-demand scan for rootkit, and to run "on-demand virus scan"... So far I'm using it, there's no complain and yet already prevent a trojan from installing bassmode.dll to my system32 folder. Quite impressive but not as good as real HIPS protection + the database... |

So far I'm using it, there's no complain and yet already prevent a trojan from installing bassmode.dll to my system32 folder. Quite impressive but not as good as real HIPS protection + the database... owh i see... i'm using threat fire too, just a few day ago... so far ok la... |

Now no one no longer using ad-aware already? Wanted to download the ad-adware 2008 plus but it doesn't allow. Saying our country is not available yet. Btw, does KIS is more than enough? Since KIS has anti-malware? Or malware and spyware is totally different? This post has been edited by Joshua_0718: Aug 7 2008, 10:34 AM |

Just wanted to share my finding here . Yesterday after doing some surfing *cough* (if you know what i mean ) I found that my browsing speed was slow. I noticed that it took 3-4 seconds to load my homepage(www.google.com), which was always instant, files that i could download at rates of 50kbps from rapid share became 5kbps. My instinct were to run my Avast antivirus, but nothing was detected, so I knew it could be spyware. Today I ran Spybot S&D, it detected 3 infections. I thought that was all but i was wrong when I ran ad-aware, ad-aware detected 178 infections. After running ad-aware browsing speed was back to normal. But after ad-aware I ran SUPERAntiSpyware, and it detected 45infections ad-aware missed. So i think it would be safe to say SUPER Anti Spyware is what i would suggest.
Added on September 3, 2008, 6:16 pmOne more thing, windows defender is useless. First thing I tried, detected 0 infected files. This post has been edited by Kuhan: Sep 3 2008, 06:16 PM |

After messing around I personally put the ranking now like this:
1. SuperAntiSpyware
2. Malwarebytes
3. Ad-Aware 2008
spybot & spyware terminator detection is so poor it's sad.
prevention is better than cure so my ranking for protection:
1. Comodo BOClean < user friendly
2. ThreatFire < too sensitive but still good
there's this beta version of Avorax Shield, quite good but still in beta. hope it be stable soon.
ooo yeah don't forget hijackthis hehe

Spybot doesn't seem to do much anymore, strangely. I'm really impressed with Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0 though. I couldn't believe all the problems that that program found on my computer when other software that I'm running finds nothing (including Spybot).

Malwarebytes is also my favourite, along with TDSS Killer from Kaspersky.  Many spyware nowadays comes from fake antivirus, sad |

Is there any decent adware remover to use? I mean, some of the adware removers are good but these usually have trial days...

normally, just do backup regularly on your data and practice safe surfing. Format is the best and most secure way of clean save.
