getting rid of spyware and protecting against it...
While I'm not one for advocating downloading just anything to my computer..since i keep getting hit with spyware...but tonight I finally just downloaded some freeware for getting rid of all the spyware on my computer...i had this weird spidersearch thing and then this xadso spyware and continous popups from that and some wierd shop at home select crap on my computer...so i finally downloaded CWShredder and Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard.. CWShredder to get rid of the spyware, spyware blaster to keep it from coming to me and guard to warn me that its trying to hijack my computer..if any interest for those downloads, email me and I'll send the links to you
all in all..i think I've got it all..or at least I hope I do..my computer seems to be running better..and wahoo..didn't have to reinstall the operating system :)
I still can't get to the task manager but next week, I'll reseat all my cards and RAM and see if that is causing a problem with the bios beeps and the ctrl+alt+delete issues....maybe it was a bumpy ride over in the car for the computer during the move or maybe my keyboard is going out again...anyways..at least the spyware is gone..thank god..
I posted before about the freeware spyware blaster and now I'm thinking I should just buy some antispyware software because I still keep getting hit with all this spyware and its still somewhere on my computer...but the questions I have are:
- what is the best out there but not expensive?
- does anyone know anything about McAfee's Antispyware Software? Will it remove what is already here and clean it all up?
would you reinstall everything and start over with a clean slate or just install antispyware software? (this is the last resort but I'm tired of having to get rid of all this crap daily)
- any other suggestions?
Just an additional to this post..combined two posts and strike some of the info..thank you so much for the emails and suggestions..
