Rabbit4Heisman Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ..What's the best program? I already have SpyBot S&D, Spyware Doctor and Ad-ware. I have a stupid popup that comes on in my taskbar (next to the time) and keeps saying i have like 6 viruses. And i get stupid sites for spyware programs. Plus my files on MY COMPUTER are running slow. What can I do to stop this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eber Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I don't know about Spyware Doctor, but the other programs work well. SpySweeper is another good one...it's not free but you can run the trial version. Also, if you haven't already, be sure to run the programs in safe-mode (including your AV scanner)...otherwise they can be ineffective in removing malware.

DJEagles Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I run SpYBot and Spy Sweeper every couple of days. They seem to be the most effective out of all the programs I have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you change your online practices, you won't get rid of it. You may remove the current ones for a while, but unless you change what pages you've viewing on the internet and what programs you're installing, you'll just keep getting more.

RBaggio10 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I don't feel like starting a new topic so I will ask my question here. Recently my computer has been acting very strangely. A sign keeps poping up that says my comp is infected but when I run a check everything is fine. Then it says that spyware has been found, so I check for that. Same result it says everything is fine. Then somehow some program that I have never heard of, Pest Trap?, gets installed on my computer and everytime I uninstall it, it comes back. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
