    Spybot search and destroy. Adaware se 1.6. Cwshredder. Spywareblaster. Mcafee avert stinger. all these programmes are free and readily available.

    May I suggest that you go HERE and read RBS`s post. You will find links to most of the programmes I mentioned above.

    Please be careful with Spybot if you are not familiar with it. It sometimes recognizes certain programs as spyware that is not. Just take notice of what it is deleting first.

    Hello Filard.

    I`d be interested if you could give me some examples of what you mean please.

    The reason I ask, is because I`ve been using Spybot for a long time, and have never had any problems with it.

    For example Spybot S&D finds the automatic update component of F-Secure antivirus as Backweb Lite. That is correct since BackWeb is the thing used, but in this case it is a tame version that is not spyware. Needless to mention, F-Secure breaks thoroughly if you let Spybot kill the BW component.

    Thanks Nodsu.

    I was just curious, as I`d never heard of Spybot breaking anything before.
