Go to download.com, look for the spyware link.
Download the most popular one.
While at download.com, download a firewall too. That's the first line of defense. -
hmm...sumhow I dun really trust software from download.com, cos once I downloaded something there and it screwed up my whole PC instead...Originally posted by Parka: Go to download.com, look for the spyware link.

i.c.y It's a software aggregator site.
It also has Acrobat reader and Macromedia Flash player. Well, those wouldn't screw up your PC, would they? -

I am not saying all is going to screw up my PC. But just that some of those programs have some sort of virus or even spywares included in it...you dun really know that when you download it...Originally posted by Parka: It's a software aggregator site.

Actually when you download any shareware, you are most likely going to download these ads too to keep them 'free'.Originally posted by icyprincess:I am not saying all is going to screw up my PC.

Maybe you can choose the programs you really need? Format your comp to make sure it's really clean?
Do note that you must be able to configure every single setting of your PC now and backup all the things before you format your comp... -

i.c.y Just get these 3 software and you will be spyware free. (I'm free from them for a clean 6 months straight since my last format).
1. Spybot
2. Adware
3. Sygate Firewall
Update your spyware definitions after you install them.
Finally, don't install funny softwares. -
Maybe you can ask your uni comp centre to help you format? hehe... not sure if they will really be fast in reponse.... but you got to make sure you dun install all the ads into your comp again... otherwise think you better dun format...Originally posted by icyprincess:hmm okie...haha i lazy wan to format my PC la, I need to get the XP CD from my campus software office and it is not open today oso...

Oh.. sometimes when you uninstall the programs which comes with the ads, they also get removed... not all the time though... -
get spysweeper by Webroot. U can either download it (with serial number) frm p2p programs, or download n pay to register it.
