best ...program...for adware and spyware

[djlos04]

what do u guys used for adware and spyware on ur pc........

[pimpinaman]

there is no single best one. A combination of something like spybot search and destroy, ad-aware and spyware blaster should serve you well.

back it up with a good solid anti-virus.

[redMonster]

I agree. You should combine few anti-spyware programs. I use Spybot + Spyware Doctor + Ad Aware Pro.

[sammysam]

spy sweeper and spyware doctor are the best but not free.

[mascott]

I wonder what makes an antispyware the best, inasmuch as all that I have seen remove the spyware and adware cookies or registry entries. Everybody seems to list whatever program they happen to be using.
There is one program that is using a different process and that is Winpooch at Sourceforge. It is a long way from being polished, but it constantly sniffs the registry, hence 'Winpooch'.

[hawkburn]

Speaking of registry changes, Spybot has a resident scanner that resides in the taskbar, and will inform you of any attempted changes to the registry. It allows you to block or allow them.

Aside from that, I use the usual Spybot + AdAware combo, and I've found Norton 360 to be a very good antivirus/anti-spyware/firewall combo for Windows Vista. It's very easy on the resources compared to older Norton products, so easy on the resources that I don't notice it at all, and it gives better protection that what I was using. (basic windows firewall + nod32.)

Norton 360 isn't free (or cheap, for that matter) but it does do really well.

AVG and Spysweeper no doubt

[moshie]

spysweeper is a hungry package though i think it suffers from memory leaks,

but the key is not to have a tool that is good at removing , but a tool which prevents them getting there in the first place, and no one tool can do that a mixiture of about 5 to cover all bases

[mascott]

The only ones that I don't seem to have the ability to stop, limit or control; are those that get to me via one of the Instant Messengers. Can you do anything with them?

[robincheema]

Mcafee all in 1 pakage and adblocking seems to do job for me, but I hav tried spy sweeper, spyware doctor, AVG, Norton 360, Spybot AdAware pro, spyware blaster, etc. but all have small holes through them, and some times the don't work well.
AS my 3DS max teacher used to say, "If you can block a virus its not a virus". It means we need a program to get the unknown viruses etc.. and the known ones. May be some1 can Have time and will be smart enought to make one.

[funkysaggi2]

While this may not be completely spyware related, i always run CCleaner after I run spybot or something. It cleans up other temporary crap in the computer

We just can also be very careful when installing free software. A lot of free software comes with adware. That why it's free, and they warn you about that. But if you skip reading then terms and conditions, you may get a surprise after installing that software.

Adaware,spybot,spyware blaster.

[trojan570]

spysweeper + nod32 keep me virus free and aren't very resource intensive
id reccommend nod 32 especially

[the alchemist]

Hi, I agree that spybot, adaware and spywareblaster are an excellent trio, but I would highly recommend avg anti-spyware (formerly ewido). It has the best detection rate's I have seen and even if you use the paid for version it uses very little resources. It seems that anti-spyware and anti-virus are different. I use nod32 as my anti-virus which has achieved more virus bulletin 100% awards than any other av solution because it detects 100% of threats known or not. Anti-spyware seems to have no heuristics, which means you can pay for something but if they don't already know about it you aren't protected. I am sure someone more knowlegable will correct me on this point, but as good as adaware and spybot (and possibly avg as i recommend) are if you think you are infected use hijackthis and post a logfile to ="http://forums.spywareinfo.com/. If none of the programs I have mentioned find anything then these guys will.

[jozza321]

yea gotta agree adaware is real good

[polar26]

Spybot for me Definietly. NOD32 antivirus in tandem with spybot as what i`d recommend.

[jazzedup]

Spybot Search and Destroy + AdAware

[zoryx]

i think NOd32 is the best for viruses...and its extreeemly light
but for adwares and spy...i recomment not to use one prog...
try to use 2 at least..
i use dr spyware
and spysweeper
