get AdAware, or Spybot - Search & Destroy

SpyBot seems to be much more thorough.

Run AdAware and SpyBot Search & Destroy. Otherwise it's virtually impossible to get that junk out of your Registry.

SpyBot will direct you to a related program, if you hit the Innoculate button, called SpyWare Blaster. After removing the junk, it's a good idea to innoculate, regularly update, and use SpyWare Blaster to keep more Spyware from installing itself without your knowledge.

I use both. I have had an instance or two that one did not catch that the other one did.

Switch your browser to Opera v7. It has a built in pop-up stopper.

>>Adaware...Did they complete the new version?

Yes. And they update detection files regularly - I've updated mine twice this week.

No problem, I've got a lot of experience in this area. I can't stress enough the importance of having a firewall. I check my logs every day and see a hacker trying to poke through every time.

How do you clean out your cookies folder?

1) Do a search for cookies and open the file

2) read titles of files and delete

Do you buy Spybot or is it a freeware?

It is free. You can download it HERE.
