Title: Spyware
Post by: Ashford on February 15, 2004, 10:41:34 PM

My comp is infected with Spyware.

Whats the best way to remove it completely and to prevent it from happening again?

Are there any free downloads that can handle the problem, permanently?

um... have you tried adware? I googled the name when I downloaded it. don\'t remember the link ^_^ it\'s probably something obvious like:

http://www.adware.org or .com or something.

I use ad-aware and spybot. They are not permanent though so I end up checking every couple of days and usually find a few tracking cookies to remove. I also check every week to make sure that the programs are fully up to date.
