Hello everyone and I am asking u........to see if that was best or not!!

Alright here it is Spyware Detector... is that best one or this ...see below

SpyBot Serach and Destory

Ad-Adward

Both of them are what I have right now but I did try this Spyware Detector for free but will not able to clean cuz have to pay... but I noticed there was abt 653!! I said eh?? I can't believe that much since I have those two things in my computer right now! Gosh... I do not know what I can trust or not and also here is another link to show which is the best and which is no good: Consumer Reports

For me I always trust Consumer Reports which I have had it for yrs!

Thank you!
 
There is no such thing as 100% perfect software, some of them are able to detect earlier while others with delays. Remember, these nusiance viruses/spyware were created hundred of times everyday by hundred of programmers. There is no way anybody can instantly detect them. That is why it does take time for companies to discover newly virus/spyware.

So, if you want the best way to defend youself from these sicko files... abandon M$ windows and go for Linux! Most of the virus/spyware were written for M$ platforms and rarely for linux and Macintrash.

:eek: NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO DO NOT EVER TRY OR BUY SPYWARE DETECTOR!

I had this horrible experience with this program two months ago! When I bought it online...While I was using it...it messed my computer up real bad...My file was missing plus what's more? I had to press F10 to START OVER WITH MY COMPUTER RECOVERY! Lost my important files!! :pissed:

It took me over almost 2 months to get my REFUND back and finally got it few days ago! :pissed:

I recently paid Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 online,...I love it!!!! It is wonderful! The best kind to buy for your antivirus, antispyware, antifraud wizard, personal firewall...It should provide free for 30 days...:dunno: but I went ahead and ordered it immeadiately...no problem at all...

DB, Are you saying it's best way to abandon microsoft windows because virus/spyware hackers tend to access microsoft windows? Am I correct of what you're saying?

Ive never heard of Linux...is that linux window? similar idea with microsoft window? so are you saying it is best for me to get rid of microsoft window pack 1 and pack 2??? just wondering, because two months ago...it caused my computer messed up caused by microsoft window pack 2 and spyware detector....many thanks!
 
Yea, that is what I figure out but still I refused to buy it which it is only free anyway lol...so I went ahead and removed it from my computer and plus it even asked me if want to remove from Quatre (sp?) and I clicked on "No" of course I am not that dumb! Cuz u see why I did that and plus why I had to ask u guys abt it.....but I can see one of u have plms with it and cuz one of my best friend live in where I am from has that plms with one of programs that sew up somehow and couldn't use it for email so had to removed it! Geez, I knew something is not right till he told me abt it! Oh boy!

But I will just wait and see what others have to say!!

coloravalanche: I can understand and I don't blame u for that happened and lucky for me I only had it for free but did not have it to remove them what they found anyway!! Whewww!
 
Linux is based on concept of Unix and it is open source OS, there are several companies that re-writes the Linux. For example Linspire, you can check on www.linspire.com, SuSe is another one, and many other companies. Micro$oft hates them because of the "Open Source" concept. You could get some brand of Linux for free! For more information, go to www.Linux.org or www.linux.com. believe or not, Firefox is strongly based on Linux.
Linux isn't for everybody, but you could try for free if you want to. Even better, you could do dual boot with linux and Windows OS.

Linux OS is very highly customized. You could delete the company Logo at start up, or change everything to your taste while Micro$oft won't let you delete their logo off from your PC! You could change the way windows runs in Linux while you can't do in M$ windows.

Alot of hackers and programmer have ALOT respect for Linux and tend to leave them alone and bash on M$ stuff.

Other thing I wanted to add. Intel CPU have been notorious for failed to dump unwanted or unnecessary memories. You may notice these peksy *.dll files failure dialog boxes. That is because Intel CPU don't know what to do with them. With one exception Intel Pentium II and earlier don't have that problem. AMD CPU, you won't see these pesky pop ups. That is why I am all in for AMD Athlon 64! Plus AMD CPU nowadays are much more advanced than Intel! I got three AMD based PC and one Intel based PC and I have seen enough!

What does open source mean? Do I need to remove microsoft pack 1? and download the linux instead?

Why does hackers and programmer have alot respect for linux than M$?

Suppose if I remove microsoft program from control panel...will I be able to use outlook express 6???
 
I use Spybot and Ad-Aware. They're both pretty good for me. Before I had them, my computer nearly died from overwhelming spyware/adware and pop-ups. :roll:

Ahh, oh boy really, that happened to me too, that was my other old computer run still slow (hopefully will fix that since mom is now using it for email only) but now this time my 3rd computer with those spyward programs and it runs much better as I have taken very care of this computer! :)

U could try Spy & Bot and Ad-Adware, both of them are good so far and have no plms with both for over two yrs now, I think, but do not even try that Spyware Detector (but then maybe urs might be ok, dunno tho but I wouldn't if I was u!) Cuz of the show files after they found and I got shocked to see that much and can't be that possible but as show above my first topic abt Consumer Reports.... pls click that and u will find which is good to use! Good luck!! :)
