Do you use software to remove spyware from your computer? If so what is it and how well does it work?

For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well. If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender. Both are currently free.

Before scanning, update your spy definitions first.

Always remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for. Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on. These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.

Good luck and have a nice day!

Hi! I have a few good programs (that I have been trying thoroughly over the past few months) that are great for removing pesky spyware from your pc. Either of the following two would work fine:

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Lavasoft Adaware Personal Edition:

Also, in the upcoming version of Windows (named Vista), there is a chance we may have antispyware software integrated at no extra fee! (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/s... )

And finally, CCleaner (CrapCleaner) is a great freeware programming for deleting junk files, effectively speeding up some areas of your PC that can slow it done over time.

Good luck, you won't regret using these programs.

Spybot works very well. I don't need it anymore though. I use Mozilla Firefox to block harmful software from entering. Firefox kicks Internet Explorers butt.

Hi, you can use one of the two from the links below. They work great. The first one is free. The second one is a bit better. It is very reasonably priced.

Ad-aware and Spybot are both free and work very well. Make sure you update them first.
