Need To Get Rid Of Spyware

[Skythe]

Go to http://www.downloads.com and get the latest Ad-aware.

also, look for a program called "Ace Utilities" and use it to remove your junk files and to clean your registry. And yes, it helped me with mine by going deep into the registry and it can help you with yours

2 words..spy bot

Spybot fails to catch most of the tracer cookies.

I'd say you've got two options - either install ad-aware AND spybot - s&d OR install Spy Sweeper which will work better than both of those combined.

I got Adaware, SB and Spy Sweeper all installed, so it's all good

And Firefox 0.9 was released today, you can get it from here.

Thanks to Gryph and everyone that responded with a recommendation.

 

I used Spy Sweeper and came up with a truckload of crap. Did a info check on the stuff that was causing the problems. Apparently it's called Adscpm Cookie, and it's threat assesment is "low." Well, either way, it was causing some problems like 1) slow as hell web connection 2) page hijacks and 3) some other system (or some crap like that) automatically connecting me to the web -- I dunno, it was weird.

 

Yeah, so, don't go to that site I mentioned in my first post. I find it *amazing* that there are members that actually post on such a site. Well, don't go unless you're just incredibly desparate for those lyrics.

Have to say thanks to you, now I add that site to my restriceted site.

you could always use Opera. Its a internet browser much more secure than IE. Its got mouse gestures, that once you start using them, you can't switch to a browser that doesn't have them. The only thing is, if you don't wanna pay for it, you have an ad on your screen all the time, but its still much better than IE. Tabbed browsing is great too. check out www.opera.com

I'd go with Mozilla Firefox, but not until I get XP.
