Hello, Does anyone here know a good, free anti-spy program??I tried altware.com, but my PC was so slow after this, that I had to deactivate the program. Thanks, Gerhard

Spybot, Adaware, AVG antivirus is capable of catching a few as well. Try SpywereBlaster to secure the web browser against future attacks. Roswell:)

Thanks. I opend the site and there are many possibilities to downlowd. Do you think that the first one 'Spy and destroy 1.4'?? would be enough, or should I know something else before download??

ensger

Donr know why, but it didn#t work as an reply. Do I have to know something before the download of point 1 = 'Spy and destroy - 1.4'??? Thank's

Prevx[^] was recommended to me by a friend. Haven't had the time to try it out tho.

I think 1.4 should be sufficient. The product was originally developed by Web Root[^] which sell more powerful versions.

Did it. First time, the program found 6 spies - I repaired and at the second time the program said 'Congratulations - no spies found'!!:) Thank you very much, Gerhard

That's good, I hate spyware

I really like the Windows Defender in Vista. Don't care much of it's anti-spyware functionality (I protect myself enough as it is). I do however like the way you can sort processes, network connections, etc.

What do you use? I use NOD32 antivirus/antispyware and Outpost firewall. It is the only one that does not slow down the computer, I think. jhaga

Grisoft AVG, a dedicated FreeBSD-server with firewall, and common sense are my items of protection. Actually, I think I would manage well with only the FreeBSD-server and common sense. I've had two viruses in 12 years or something like that. None of the instances did me much harm as the viruses were quite benign.
