If you get spyware, popupls, adaware, viruses, trojans, or any other crap that windows users faces, then read this guide!

Adaware SE
SpyBot Search & Destory
Microsoft Antispyware


First off, download these tools, there anti-spyware tools, called adaware, spybot search and destroy, and MS anti-spyware, all of which are free for use. You need to run these tools atleast every month, and make sure there all up to date.

--------

Then for viruses, run these online tools, use atleast 2 of em, and you should run a scan online maybe once every 2 months.

---------
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 <---free antivirus

ClamAV <---free open source antivirus, lots of internet servers use this scanner and is very very good happy.gif
ClamAV for other operating systems <---- got linux, mac osx, bsd and need to scan files before you put em on a windows puter? then download the release that goes with ye puter happy.gif

Also download this antivirus and keep it on your computer, it'll give you round the clock protection since its running locally, and its free happy.gif Make sure its up to date, and run a scan every other week, you can set the program to do this automatically.

-----------------
To prevent spyware/ad's from ever getting on your computer then get these tools:

https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...ication=firefox <----stops ads

https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136 <---keeps adblock up to date


http://www.download.com/3000-2092-10039884.html <--- free firewall

I use all the tools my self, and i get zero ad's/spyware/viruses, and i install it on all of my clients pc's as well happy.gif

Believe it or not Microsoft actually makes a pretty good AntiSpyware program (named just that: Microsoft Anti-Spyware.) I've found that it works just as a well and sometimes better than Ad-Aware SE . . .

For anti-virus the absolute best is NOD32 . . . Kaspersky and AVG come close, but can't quite reach the level of NOD32.

Firewalls can help ALOT too. On my system with NOD32 + MS Anti-Spyware + Ad-Aware 1.06 + Zonealarm Pro, absolutely nothing gets in that I don't want . . . smile.gif
