Does anyone know of a free decent spyware program. Used up webroot trial,using counterspy evaluation but has alot of pop-ups.
Try using a-squared. website >>> http://www.emsisoft.com/en/
You can try these out. A lot of people use them and are very useful. There is Ad-Aware SE Personal and SpyBot Search and Destroy
or you can find both of them along with many others here:
Those are good ones MiamiGuy,but since I found a-squared I trust it more to get rid of spyware it does a really good search on your PC 🙂
To be honest, i’ll second the programs MiamiGuy recommended. If you run them both on your PC, obviously not scanning at the same time, they work really effectively when used together.
No doubt at all that they are great programms,but you will be surprise if you ever use the one mentioned by neo_ny_23 it found a lot of things those others didn’t.Try it 😉
Thanks all downloaded a-squared free 1.6 , I just can’t get rid of cws_ns3, tried webroot counterspy, and a2-squared, also cws shredder.
Microsoft Antispyware is also another good FREE software, you might want to give it a try =)…but never forget to run all of them in Safe-Mode. A lot of spywares can only be killed in this mode. Also…one sad news is even though you combined all anti-spywares programs out there…you only have a detection rate of only 90% of the total numbers of spywares out there.
I use adaware, spybot, and one provided in yahoo’s toolbar. i run all three once each week. each one has pros and cons.
Also, MSN has released a beta version of a very useful antispyware. I have used it to get some really deep-rooted spyware in my system.
