got spyware?

Sk8forMaple · 05-February-04, 09:05 AM

I was just shown this awesome website that will scan your PC for various spyware programs, how they are installed on your rig and how to remove them.. and this is all done for free lol so if you can't afford to by a program like Spybot or adaware this is definately for you =P

Nice find - I like the whole list of extra links that they have also and they tell you exactly what each one does. That can make telling someone to use certain spyware software much easier in the explanation department. Thx for the link.

spybot and adaware are free
arent they? lol

you could be right lol I dunno... I haven't been following all this stuff lately.. but I've used some spyware programs that will tell you whats on there but you have to buy the software to remove it.

as far as I know spybot search & destroy is freeware and adaware is free for personal use but they also offer a professional version which includes more features such as active system monitoring with adwatch
