   Well I use three different spyware programs. There all free. Adware, Search & End, ewido. you can download and update them all for free. If your infected right now, running and cleaning sometime won’t remove them all by its self. You need to make sure you run these programs in safe mode. Run FULL scans. But before you do clear temp folders first. I use a program, which is free, call cleanUP. Its nice read warnings first. You need to get a virus protection software also. to prevent this type of thing from happening again. e-mail me if you need more help hobbit_lovin2000@yahoo.com

   For all matter-of-fact purposes there *are* no excellent free programs of this kind. The ones that exist are any ineffective or are themselves a form of spyware, or made by the same people who make spyware. Save time and energy and shell out the money for Spyware DOctor. When I had a spyware program highjack my homepage, I spent the whole night hard out these free programs, and none of them worked. When I got Spyware Doctor, it not only solved my problem, it eliminated over 27,000 spyware programs I didn’t even know I had.

   And no, I’m not being paid by them to say this. Also, the most worthless program of them all is Windows Defender. As my boyfriend says, when it confronts any kind of spyware or malware its first response is to break down and weep like a small girl.

   Here’s some thoughts to “roll ya own” Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.

   1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V)

   I like the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don’t let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

   In recent tests, the most standard free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
   Full test consequences are here:
   http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defaulting.asp?id=82&mnu=82

   AntiVirusShield has brilliant virus detection rates and is extremely light on by your computer resources.

   Updates many times per day to detect new malware.

   Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:
   http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?

   2. For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 firewall)

   An brilliant free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall “leak tests” that even most of the “paid-for” firewalls cannot pass.

   And Comodo has a fantastic support forum. Where the CEO / Head of the company force even himself answer your question! Check it out at:
   http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

   3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use 2)

   Pick and choose, 2 anti-spywares from the list not more than and alternate scanning with them on a fixed basis. New spywares are made literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

   Spybot Search and End:
   http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

   Ewido:
   http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

   Adaware SE:
   http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

   A-Squared:
   http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

   SUPERAntiSpyware:
   http://www.superantispyware.com/

   Windows Defender:
   http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/defaulting.mspx

   Unfortunately, many “paid for” anti-spyware harvest are in fact any of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:
   http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

   4. And to protect your computer from ever getting infected with spyware in the first place………… (use them both)

   SpywareBlaster:
   http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

   SiteAdvisor:

   Everything here is 100% free!!!!!!

   Fantastic luck!

   you get what you pay for when you get free programs like that. with that being said go to google and search avg. the first result should be freeavg.grisoft.com or something similar and they have been voted before the best “FREE” antivirus program and they also have a spyware program that is also free.

   and to have a better chance of getting rid off everything try and scan your computed in safe mode.

    I worked on removing malware from last 15 years. The best thing to kill viruses is not from windows, but by DOS, if you can or check for the alternatives like
    1. ONLINE SCAN YOUR COMPUTER
    2. CHECK UNKNOWN PROCESS FROM TASK MANAGER and scan them online.
    Don’t overload your computer with many antivirus and spywares, In my knowledge, yahoo involuntarily scan mails for VIRUS(if not spam).
    In case of effectiveness McAffee, F-Prot,AVG(Sometimes) are excellent choices,
    also check out

    One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-Aware SE Personal Journal’s brilliant reputation is well justified. The sky-blue, skinnable interface features five buttons. The first two, Status and Scan, lead to the core function of the attention. These buttons initiate a scan of your files for adware components. After scanning is complete, the program presents a summary of consequences, followed by a list from which you select exactly which components to remove. Right-clicking an individual entry gives some information about the piece of suspected adware, even if we would like more details.

    Ad-Aware SE can alert you to more malignant forms of malware by separating items into critical and negligible categories. The third button, Ad-Watch, is nonfunctional in the Standard version. The fourth button, Plug-ins, shows you which Ad-Aware plug-ins are installed. The fifth leads to the help files.Ad-Aware SE does an brilliant job of quickly result and removing most adware and spyware components, although you will have to restart and rescan for a seriously infected machine. We were pleased to see an auto-update feature built-in with the program, keeping Ad-Aware up-to-date with the latest adware components. Ad-Aware SE should be part of your arsenal for keeping your machine free of adware and spyware components.

    Spybot – Search & End detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to make a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
