To get rid of the spyware on your computer. Mike Foster turned me on to
Ad-aware
from LavaSoft
Ad-aware is THE award winning, multi-trackware detection and removal utility
(designed for Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / NT40 / 2000 / XP Home / XP Pro) that will
comprehensively scan your memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives
for known Datamining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, Keyloggers,
selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking
components.
Ad-aware will provide you with the confidence to surf the Internet knowing that
your privacy will remain intact.
Time to clean house
Ad-aware employs a regularly updated reference file and a powerful
in-depth scanning engine to place the spotlight on these risks to your privacy.
Through use of our all-new and totally integrated Webupdate module, you can be
assured that you will always have the most complete and up-to-date AntiTrackware
solution on the planet!
I found more than 200 pieces of spyware on each of my 2 computers.
See
It is free.
Next Mike made me aware of another program.
He wrote:
After reading another article on the plane from
FL last night, I have decided to augment Ad-aware on my system by also
installing separately the SpyBot Search & Destroy program from http://spybot.safer-networking.de/.
The program works very well - found some spy programs that Ad-aware missed.
SpyBot also allows you to immunize your systems against future attacks (will see
how well this works soon).
It is also free, and they just ask a donation. I recommend you get SpyBot
too. I have not tried it yet.
