    Lightbulb What Programs Do You Use To Remove Spyware/Adware?

    I know everybody will say that thet use Ad-Aware which almost becoming the standard. But I just wanted to see what other programs people use to remove spyware/adware from their computers. Also tell me what programs/ways you use to prevent it like a host file for example.

    adaware is good. suggestion, use a firewall, and make sure you set it up, so if any type of program wants to access the net, you set the proper permissions for it. *adaware* along with a good firewall, can prevent, some tracking also.

    The latest PC World compared the popular programs and AD-Aware came out on top. Its an excellent program, a must have!

    adaware twist

    ok here is a weird one. i use adaware and have for over a year. I had a crash about 8 months ago and rebuilt my system from a fresh boot. I did not have a copy of adaware saved so I d/l and installed it fresh. After about two months I went to do my normal run to see if anything unwanted was on my system and adawair had morphed into it's german version. Same program and runs well but everything is in german. I have yet to change it back but have no idea how this happened.
    I also use a little program called internet cleanup to clear history, catch and cookies. It has found some active X programs that adaware has not found. It costs about $20 and does not do much that you can not do through internet properties settings but it is easier to use. I also use zonealarm that seems to keep most of the nasty stuff out.

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I have had to kill for annoying me.

    Ad-Aware + SpyBot Search & Destroy work wonders together.
