spyware??

I bought Mcafee spyware remover and also their firewall.
What a piece of junk, I'm still getting bombed.

Some spyware manages to elude programs like those mentioned above as well as spybot.

Go to your control panel and choose "ad/remove programs."

If you see anything funky that shouldn't be there, and the spyware hasn't removed it, chances are it needs to be deleted manuallly.

The only sure fire way to get rid of spyware is to "nuke" your pc and reload it from scratch. I have probably spent upwards of a day and a 1/2 sometimes trying to clean up PC's of spyware/adware.

Now if it takes more than 2 hours i just nuke it, at least that way I know it will be all set when I'm done.

another thing that helps is to stay off of the "joke" sites. these things are filthy w/ spyware. same goes for Free Fonts, Free Pics, Free Music and anything else w/ the word free.

I have been playing w/ the new Microsoft Spyware package and it does show some promise but it still isn't a 100%

On my primary test PC running Windows XP Home, I use Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. There were 739 spyware threats found. On my personal PC, running Firefox and Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail application, there were 11 spyware instances. Each of those 11 was an Internet Explorer exploit or cookie that snuck in the few times I had to use Internet Explorer for certain Web sites.
