The number one recommended program is unbelievable “free” find and download Spybot and AdWare, you’ll also have to change you computer habits. No more “Free” anything; no more opening emails from unknown persons, I know it will hurt but trust me it is all you can do!

Take care, God Bless You and the Southern People.

I use Windows Defender Beta (free) and SpyBot Search & Destroy (free). Never had any problems.

Good luck!

Hi. Sometimes the scans exaggerate a bit. Search for ‘ adaware se’, ‘ spybot ‘, and ‘ avg free’ . They seem to work well and also seem safe.

use
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0

yes… spyware doctor >> some antivirus will miss key keylogger and trojans . frist of all you need to download avg antispyware this is verry good in getting all kinda bad files . then you need to download Adaware
a-squared< is verry good in picking up traking software files that is on the pc and it will find them . then download antispyware blocker that will find any type of virus . trojans files with antispyware blocker when you run that at the top of the box ur see
C:\ WINDOWS
remove the word windows and just leave in

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger

if they say some are in the registry you watch what path there in and get in the registry and right hit on that folder and hit remove dont worry when the pc restart up win xp will creat a new clean folder for you

There is gona be a million answer here. But I suggest you use Spybot Search & Destory, Microsoft’s Defender, Adaware.

DO NOT BUY A SPYWARE SCANNER. You can get better ones for free. I also suggest you use more then one seeing how some spyware scanners pickup what others missed.

Don’t forget to keep them updated. You usually do this through the options in the program.

Wow 2,000 worms? You should use either one of these free virus scanners AVG or Avest.

Also get a firewall. You can find free ones like Zone Alarm.

Actually I would go ahead and reformat the system if it is that compromised. If you already own the operating system CD then you can do this. If not then you will need to buy one.
