where can i find a free spyware adware remover?
I have tried bulletproofsoftware.com but all they can do is just do the free scan, and it found out I have 182 threats. But when it comes to remove the spyware/adware they ask me to buy their products.
Then I tried Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE personal, I scan it and removed it but I’m not convinced because after that I tried to scan it again with bulletproofsoftware.com, it shows i still have 52 threats in my PC, what should I do?
- SpyBot Search & Destory
- Windows Defender (WinXP only)
- AdAware (as you already mentioned)
- HiJackThis
all of these (and more) can be found here – http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_spyware.html
You might need to run some of these applications in Safe Mode to remove all of the malware – to learn how to do this go here – http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_start_in_safe_mode.html
MSCONFIG – (if you are running Windows 95 or 2000 you will need to download a copy it was not included with these operating systems) is another helpful tool – learn how to use it here – http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_use_msconfig.html
I also recommend a software firewall – there are many free firewalls available – you can find a list of them here – http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_firewalls.html
Finally, if you are using Internet Explorer get a better browser, for example Mozilla Firefox – it’s much more secure – you can find FireFox as well as other free web browsers here – http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_browsers.html
