[gui-talk] looking for a good spyware program

[Paul Henrichsen]

Hi, Alfred. I was looking at some reviews this morning and windows defender
was down in the 60's as far as reliability. I noticed also that spy sweeper,
the program I have been using, was also pretty low in the chart<grin>.
I tried spyware doctor from pc tools after running a scan using spysweeper
and it found three things that spy sweeper did not.
However, spyware doctor isn't the most accessible program I have ever seen.
It's about as inaccessible as spy sweeper.

Try Windows Defender.  It's gotten a bad name but time and time again when
I've read about it in publications not promoting spyware products of their
own it comes out alright.  For along time I ran two spyware programs and I
had Windows Defender run first automatically so I could see what it caught.
Then, I'd run my other program to see if it picked up anything. Most of the
time the latter program didn't find any more spyware.  When it did they were
of low value just cookies.   Know I allow most cookies to be installed.
Therefore, make sure your antivirus definitions are kept up to date and
configure your firewall properly but run the defender and let your spyware
catching efforts go at that.  I've been using this method of operation for a
year without incident and I use my computer allot.

Hi, gang. I am looking for a good spyware removal program on the caliber of
spy sweeper. I don't want anything like spybot; just something I can put on
my computer which will monitor and block an where I can schedule to run
automatically.

Is there anything out there which is accessible?

I'd go with caspersky, but I know it isn't very accessible.

Thanks.
