Mr. S asked:


I know about software and firewall solutions, I am more interested in settings and configuration (for example: altering host files, using block lists, blocking scripts and spyware, etc. ) Please share your experiences and wisdom.

Ad-aware didn’t do the job
Apparently my Sound turned off after going to some DIVX websites (watch movies free) that gave me some spyware or something

It says, No Audio Output Device is Installed

Now I go to task manager CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE
and it seems like my computer is always running like 20% instead of 0% when I’m not doing anything.

How can I remove it.

I have a Toshiba laptop. I know my computer have been in infected by some virus and spyware cookies. I used to use many different software to scan and stop the infection in my computer, but unsuccessful. Everytime I scan my computer, after 5 or 10 minutes, my computer is automatic shut down. I don’t know why. I think the reason is because when I scan to a specific virus or spyware which is important for running other programs, the scanning software affects to them, so they cause the shutting down of my computer. Am I right? If so, could you help me to solve this problem, and show me another way to scan, kill and stop virus and spyware without cause shutting down computer? Do you know any free software I can use?

I have Yahoo anti spyware and another program. The virus that I was infected with disables both programs and I am unable to scan and remove this virus(es). It also disables me from using ctrl alt del. When I do a serch on google for virus or spyware removal programs whatever results I find, clicking on the link takes me to some dummy website. Help Please!

I need some spyware, I’m having a lot of problems with popups & slow browsers. HELP!!

I currently use AOL Safety & Security, it tells me everything is fine, but it’s not. Is this common?

Is it OK to run 2 different kinds of security protection including spyware at the same time?

Jimmy asked:


Ho do the spyware work? Are they need to install on the computer you want to monitor? Or it can be done from a remote place with the help of e-mails etc?

Snowypup asked:


Recently I’ve gotten a very bad virus or spyware that disables a majority of websites I normally visit, in addition to some occasional pop-up ads. Thankfully I can still run these sites on IE. The bad thing is that HijackThis and Panda Anti-Virus had no effect on the problem, so I was hoping someone could recommend me some very solid anti virus or spyware program.

Geepee asked:


Within minutes of booting my computer, a box pops up on my desktop flashing the message ” Windows has detected spyware infection. It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss”. This, even as I am not connected to internet. Where do I download free antispyware software that will clean my disk?

I downloaded Spyware Doctor from the Internet last year and even made a contribution for it. It seems to be gumming up my processing time, and I’d like to remove it, but when I go into My Computer and Add/Remove Programs, it stubbornly won’t budge and the computer freezes. Any suggestions? Thanks.
