Download accelerators--What is the best and safest one out there?

Trying to find a free one without adware or spyware.

Download accelerators--What is the best and safest one out there?avast

I've been using Mass Downloader (from Meta Products) for long and it's working absolutely fine. You can configure it to use 10 threads simultaneously and download speed is fantastic. Moreover you can change the settings in it so as to use that software for downloading only when you click the downloadable link holding the Ctr key!

And the beauty is that there's no adware/spyware in it.

Hope this helps.

Literally, all of them are spyware/addware.
do not, they'll waste your time. Google probably has the best tool out there.

Is there a downloadable SIM expansion?

can i download somewhere on the net some expansions of the SIMS 1 ? I have SIMS,hot date and unleashed. Where can i download the others,(free and w/o virus,spyware, etc...) THAnks :)

Is there a downloadable SIM expansion?best antivirus software

You can go to the official site of The Sims and download some cool stuff. I'm sorry, you can' download a whole expansion pack; you are just gonna buy one.

Is there a downloadable SIM expansion?firewall

No, they still want to make money off of those, even though they're old.

You can buy them in the store for pretty cheap, though. $30 or 40 bucks will net you the base game and ALL of the expansion packs.
You can, but it's illegal; well luckily not where I live. :D

Registry cleaner?

is there a registry cleaner i can download that scans AND fixes problems free? i have ad-aware %26 spyware protection...that is totally dofferent from what i NEED

Registry cleaner?bmw

I use RegSeeker. It is very easy to use and works real well. It was recommended to me and I use it all the time.

Registry cleaner?free adware remover

Not that I know thats free.Plus watch out for the ones that advertise free..Because it isn't usually free after a month and then they are so deep into your system it takes a cleaner just to get that out.I have McAfee with all three cds. it has everything and it is only 39.00 Anti- virus, quick clean and personal firewall. . It does everything and it is the same price as some anti viruses.Good luck
Go to http://www.macecraft.com and download RegSupreme 1.4 (that's the free version). That should sort out your registry. I use the pro version along with Easycleaner (http://www.toniarts.com)
You can use Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. It's free and makes a prenamed backup before cleaning what it has found to be bad registry entries. You can find it at any of the following:

I can't rename a new folder in root drive D:, even if i am not actively running any program??

i'm using windows media center edition. full system scan by Norton Internet Security says that my pc system is free of any viruses or spyware. going the ctrl-alt-del route shows that there are no running applications, and there are 52 processes running in the background, about 2% cpu usage. i can create and rename new subfolders of existing folders in drive D. i have no problem with drive C; i can create and rename a new folder at the root directory C:.

It sounds like a permission issue to me. Have you looked at the security on the d:drive? I assume you are administrator and can change the permissions and security, and even take ownership depending on the setup of your OS. Not sure if this is your problem but hope it helps. Good luck!

Is it safe to pay bills on line after getting rid a Malware Crush virus?

I recently got rid of Malware Crush using a free version of Super Anti Spyware. How can I be sure that it is safe to pay bills online? Could the information be used for identity theft? I noticed the virus immediatly and did not open any files to pay any bills.

You may want to change your password just to be safe.

Is it safe to pay bills on line after getting rid a Malware Crush virus?free antivirus download

if malwarecrush hadn't reappeared after it was removed by superantispyware, i guess it's gone. however, if you don't feel safe, you can check if malware crush is still on your computer. here's malware crush removal instructions: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-malwarec...

it contains filenames of all files that belong to malware crush. search for these files on your computer, if they are not there, malware crush is gone. if you find some of those files on your computer, simply delete them.

good luck!
if you removed MalwareCrush for 100% and there are no popups and other symptoms - yes.

What's the best download manager?

I mainly use firefox and sometimes its just so low. I want a download manager thats 1) free and 2) got NO spyware, viruses... and is 3) easy to use, wont always annoy you ...

I also want to use it for things like BBC iPlayer, or 4onDemand. Will a download manager work for these as well?

Thanks a lot ppl =D

I have used

for years .. you can schedule it to download and then switch off the pc =)

so I always leave my downloads running after I go sleep..

What's the best download manager?free antivirus

A download manager will not work for iplayer and 4ondemand as thay are peer2peer sharing. You are downloading for multiple locations (Other peoples pc's). I wouldnt touch that software untill you are downloading from a central server.

You will be using up your bandwith by sharing to others, whether you like it or not.
Internet Download Manager is the best download manager! You can download it for free at http://www.phazeddl.com
i think you should download limewire.but before that u have to download java and ccleaner .with limewire you can download audio,vodeo and lots of other things.and it makes your downloading a lot faster.
i use orbit you can use it also for downloading vids from youtube etc
I use Fresh Download, which works well for me, though I don't know if it would work with BBC iPlayer.

Why has my computer slowed down of late?

Of late, I find that my computer's response time has considerably increased. This is so not only for downloading internet pages but also for invoking software that is residing on the computer itself (e.g. MS Word, Excel). It seems to take forever for loading MS Word or Excel. Similarly, on launching internt explorer, it takes a very long time to load even the homepage. (I may clarify that I have a broadband connection). This has happened over last week or ten days. What could be the possible reason? Only changes that I have made recently are that I have downloaded free AVG anti virus, anti spyware and anti rootkit softwares. Are these responsible for my computer becoming slow?

Why has my computer slowed down of late?computer security

You have already got some good anwsers, but if you have a moment, please read through the following guide I put together. Sometimes the exact cause of a computer slowdown can be difficult to pin down.

A slow computer can be caused by many things, but there are a few key areas you can easily work on yourself to speed your computer up. To start, make sure you have enough memory (RAM) installed to run Windows and all of your applications correctly. I made a step-by-step guide to help you determine how much memory you have installed, and how to upgrade it if necessary:

I don't understand why running your antivirus software in Safe Mode didn't remove it - but then again, I don't know anything about NOD32. I don't think the free AVG is all encompassing. I have Norton.

Make sure you have a fire wall and that its on.

Run an anti virus program Like avg its free or buy a security suit.

Run Spybot,with Spyblaster,Along with ad-ware SE

Don't open unknown E Mails and stay away from porn sites

and game sites,A lot of stuff is piggybacked in on free down loads so be care full where you down load things from and what they are,There are even spyware programs that are Trojans.

If you down load the above programs and keep them up to date you should be reasonably safe

Check out the many Freeware options at snapfiles.com. Go specifically to the Security-Privacy section. I use the Free Internet Eraser program and it does a good job. I'm sure there are others that work just as well or better if you look around.
The best way is to format the hard drive which will erase ALL information permanetly. I have sold my old computers before, but I remove the hard drive and sell it without one to be certain that some smart person will not be able to recover any personal stuff. Use one or the other method, but just don't delete with a program. They can be recovered.
At the top of your internet browser click tools then click delete browsing history and then click delete all it will delete all of your internet history.
Get the DOD WIPE and then reinstall the OS. No sense in leaving something behind by accident.
http://ccleaner.com/
Can't you go into Internet Explorer under the options tab and clear all internet history, cookies and temp. files? That is what I usually do. Then no passwords or anything else will come up and all internet history is gone. Unless you want to clean the harddrive due to questionable activity, then you will need to purchase a program or another harddrive and reload.
If your computer has a restore partition (when you boot, it says something like "press f2 to begin restore") or restore disks, you can just re-set the computer to it's original configuration.
Try Eraser

http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/faq.php

First, go into your browser and erase your history, cache, and etc. It can write over your drive with 32 layers of random data.

If you want to nuke the whole hard drive try Darin's Nuke Disk

Have you got anti spyware and a decent firewall, if not I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.

My computer is running slow and I have a virus it says and i?house call

Most viruses tend to be .exe files and they like to hide in the program files folder. They can be hidden there too so you might want to make sure you make hidden files visible. Basically, if it's something with a pornographic or very unusual name, it's a virus (unless of course you downloaded something like that). When you install a program it houses itself in the program files folder, but will have it's own seperate folder. The ones that just sit in the program files folder are usually a virus. Try to use avg just to scan this area and see what it comes up with. It should show you which files are viruses then you can manually go in and remove them. Otherwise try Clamwin Anti-virus which i find much better than AVG.
Clear cache, delete unused movie projects, save .wav music files to disk (as data) and delete them, do the same with .avi movies you may have....they take up huge amounts of memory , defrag..........You should be good to go after that.

What's the deal with this ad.doubleclick.net thing?

My computer has been running sluggish for a little while even though I ran scans on it with Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG free, Ad Aware, Superantispyware and Spyware Blaster. I have noticed ad.doubleclick.net showing up on the bottom bar whenever I log into my mail account. I added it to the sites to be blocked in my browser options and ran another program called PARETOLOGIC. It came up with 5 issues none of my other programs have detected. What's going on? Any ideas?

What's the deal with this ad.doubleclick.net thing?ducati

ad.doubleclick.net is actually usually just a cookie that is set by doubleclick.net which is an independent advertiser for people. The place pop-ups/unders on websites and pay the websites for it. It is usually nothing to worry about but sometimes there are virus' hidden within them.

I hate to say it but they are usually found on "Naughty" (not just porn, but gaming related etc) websites lol.

Stand alone cleaners direct from the antivirus server will take upto three hours depending on how many programs you have installed in your computer. This is normal as you can see how how many programs the scanner has scanned.

Once you start this type of scan, it is best that you just wait and allow the antivirus scanner to do it job.

hey!! i think it's thinking to hard on something and it's using up all your RAM until the computer freezes. it might have to do with an windows update from about a month ago. i never turn off my computer, but i added a network on friday and had to restart my computer (which installs updates). for the last few days my computer has frozen around 6:30am, which i thought was random until i checked and found my fsecure ran virus scan at 6am. when i get up around 9, my screen is frozen and time shows 6:34 and cpu usage bar at 100% (the bar when you hit crtl+alt+del).

This is a tricky question. There is only one free program I know that scans, removes, and prevents and that is Windows Defender.

Spybot, and Adaware both scan and remove but the free version doesn't prevent. Spayware blaster helps prevent but does not scan. If you already have an infection try all of them plus HiJack this to remove hard to get of BHO's and good luck the best way to prevent spyware is to be careful.

Try Spybot, it's free.
www.Dowload.com
AD-AWARE SE it is free and it itis good also use SPYWAREBLASTER also free it is an always on program helps reduce spyware

PUT IN NAMES IN SEARCH BAR YOU WILL FIND SITES TO DOWN LOAD THEM FROM
lavasoft.com

their programme is ad-aware and is totally free. It scans, removes and quarantines everything including malware
I got a program from" eTrust "which scans+quarantines , also a pest patrol program is available from them ,free
try the microsoft windows defender, it's the best spyware removal ever
I have used Ad-aware by Lavasoft. It scans, rates its findings, and will then remove the problem.

You can download the programme for free from Lavasoft website or if you download Google task bar you can get it as part of this operation along with other free downloads, including Norton anti-virus.
yahoo toolbar and microsoft have free programs.
look into getting windows defender....this is a free microsoft download.

Also look into ad-aware and Spybot S %26 D. Having these three programs on your pc will create a software firewall if you have an updated anti-virus program.

Computer has been running slow not sure what to do?free antivirus

It sounds like you have a nice, newer computer, and it looks like you've already done everything I'd recommend. I'd try downloading Ad-Aware 2007 or Spybot-Search %26 Destroy, and run both of those, just to make sure you've gotten every piece of spyware and virus off of your computer. Other than that, go to Control Panel and remove all the programs you're not using.

Hope you answer?

at first when i tried to open google.com

and that's all. there's nothing else. i asked this to people on yahoo and somone said try deleting all of your history and cookies to see if that solves things (go to tools %26gt; internet options and delete this from there) If that does not solve then this could be some kind of virus in which case restore back to a time when this was not happening (start %26gt; all programs %26gt; accessories %26gt; system tools %26gt; system restore) and then download, install and run AVG free anti-virus and anit-spyware at http://www.grisoft.com and http://www.ewido.com respectively. Hopefully this should solve things.

and it helped

but after my internet and computer got so slow.

Can I have 2 anti-virus programs in my computer?liveupdate

No, it is useless to have two antivirus in the computer.
It's possible. But in most cases it causes a lot of problems.
Usually it is not a good idea to have two antivirus softwares in one computer. However it is possible to have more than one the condition being only one run at a time. Usually one software will take other as a serious threat.

You can however install different types of softwares like AVG, Spybot-Search%26Destroy and Winpatrol
i have actually 2. AVG and SUPERAnti spyware. it's good.
It is usually not a good idea to have two running at the same time. Virus checkers delve very deep into the OS, having two could result in unforeseen consequneces.
Why not? But your computer will become slower!
simple answer, No, if you want to try the nod32 antivirus, you will first have to uninstall AVG completely, otherwise they will clash and your computer will slow right down and possibly crash.
yes
I know AVG works with Norton and PC-Cillin not too sure about NOD32 ... worst case is you uninstall AVG and if you don't like NOD ... reinstall AVG ... I think you're better off sticking with AVG and running a second or even third spyware program
No.... They may collide among themselves even though they doesn't give you the warning ....

If you think NOD32 is better than AVG , i suggest that you just uninstall AVG and just using NOD32 ..... Like that will prevent any collision between them ....
don't it wrecks the computer badly remove the other one than install the new one
It isn't advisable, Most don't play well together and have a tendency to do some very bad things to your computer and in some cases will make your computer inoperable.

AVG only removes viruses. Use a anti spyware program to remove spyware. The ones already mentioned are good ones. So is AdAware 2007. You may want to use several spyware programs just to make sure.

Spybot...didnt you pay for yours?house call

Spybot - Search %26 Destroy 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 create 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%26D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Lately it seems like whenever I'm on the computer and I click on a link, it doesnt go directly to that link. I get redirected and for I have to sit there and view annoying ads. It displays "Redirecting in 10seconds" and then when the ad is gone is says "to skip this offer click here". I have yahoo toolbar with antispy and nothing shows up. Please help. If you think I need another spyware remover, please suggest a free one like yahoo's. Thanks.

What can I do?pop up blocker

I don't think it's spyware.

I think those ads are sponsoring the site you're going to.

I always just click "skip ad" as soon as it appears.

*********

Um, I use Firefox, and it still happens...just not as much!

What can I do?systemworks

Stop using Internet Explorer. Most IT/nerds/geeks/techies and using the FireFox browser. Go to www.mozilla.org and download the Firefox browser its free and stops popup ads and almost all spyware.
Go download Windows Defender (Microsoft's Anti-Spyware, works surprisingly well).

Sounds awfully a lot like spyware.

Have you tried Control Panel then Add/Remove programs?

If it doesnt work then look down

probably go into C:\Program files and look for either Active spyware or whichever company made it. Then, right click and click properties. deselect the read only if it isn't deselected, and then make sure all files and subfolders are made non-read only, so you can delete them, then delete it.

If it ISNT INSTALLED THROUGH A SETUP FILE (like an exe with a little zip or computer icon) THEN YOU CANT (if it's one of those fake ones like those popup ones on IE)

Free Spyware protection comes best with Spybot S%26D.

There are many free Anti-Virus softwares out there.

I have used AVG and I currently use Avast Antivirus. I personally like Avast better for its frequent updates and light on resources.

Here are 74 reputable Anti-Spyware removals, I hope you find one that suits you well.

http://www.2-spyware.com/anti-spyware
I like AOL Active Virus Shield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

Full test chart is here:

http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defa...

Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb ram)

Active Virus Shield detects and removes spyware, also.

And it updates up to 15 times a DAY with new virus definitions, 7 days a week!

Good stuff, free for everyone from:

Dell laptop replacement policy?

So, first of all, my laptop (an Inspiron 6400) has been acting up for a while. Even though it has no viruses, no spyware, and 50 gigs of free space, it has been horrifically slow, almost seeming like a 500 megahertz computer at times. I've tried everything, it just seems like it is malfunctioning. I purchased a warranty with Dell that said it would replace my laptop if it got broken, but the conditions seeemed pretty strict, so I didn't consider replacing it until today's unrelated incident. When cleaning the screen with some laptop screen cleaner, some managed to get under the screen, making one small puddle at the bottom very bright, and the rest dark. It was accidental by all means, but do you think that Dell would still replace my laptop, or would they say it was my fault?

Dell laptop replacement policy?software

It depends on which warrantee you have. There are two different products. One is just the regular hardware warrantee. The other is "Accidental Damage" protection. If you have the accidental damage protection they will probably replace and/or fix it.

Why don't you just call them and ask them? If you're covered they'll help you.

How do I choose which processes running can be shut down to save memory?

I am refering to the TASK MANAGER on my home computer. I have windows XP. I probably downloaded spyware in some of the "FREE" stuff that is offered.

I do not want to shut down something that my PC really needs to run and cause myself problems. What happens if I do shut down the wrong process running?

How do I choose which processes running can be shut down to save memory?spyware removal

If u shut down something u need, your computer will crash...

My suggestion is download some spyware/malware removal program, perform a selective start up by clicking on Start %26gt; Run type msconfig and click ok, select the option that say selective stat up, uncheck load start-up itemsn, go to the Services tab, check the "hide all microsoft services", and then click on disable all and click ok to restart your computer.

then run the removal program u should be able to get rid of it

How do I choose which processes running can be shut down to save memory?virus protection software

As you go in TASK MANAGER just select the BAR upside "PROCESSES".Inside that only see that processes which are named to your computer name(Processes name can be seen in the 'user name' colume).You shouldn't end that process which is your SYSTEM process.... EASY.........................

A virus that uses memory?

Does anyone know of any recent viruses or maybe spyware that quickly uses all free memory on you computer? My boyfriend has had this problem for maybe a week or two and we really are running out of ideas. Many system restores and anti virus programs and things of that nature will not run as they need spaces to do so, creating logs as the need to.

Anyone have any ideas or maybe resources we might be able to check out?

A virus that uses memory?spyware

Try running Windows in Safe Mode then running the virus programs. You can do this by rebooting and pressing one of the F keys at the appropriate time. It will tell you what F key to press in the top right hand corner of the screen during reboot.

A virus that uses memory?virus scan

your cashed, back up any possible data and reinstall windows. next time check your security updates and do regular scans.
NO THERE IS NO VIRUS THAT CAN TAKE UP ALL YOUR MEMORY

UNLESS HE HAD LIKE 2BYTES OF MEMORY LEFT
try running in safe mode and use any spyware/anti-virus that u have.

re-start and run again.

ps run task manager and look at processes if u see anything strange try and end that process then try the above again.

good luck
It could be anything really. Try rebooting into safemode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.s... with networking support. If you can get a stable system run an online virus scanner (http://housecall.trendmicro.com) and see if it can clean it up.

Need Help with computer please!?

I am having trouble with 3D games, like delayed movement of the mouse, slow, frame by frame movement when i try to move my character in the game map, cant quit in game. I am using the latest direct X, i ran spyware doctor i have a free space of 2.5 GIga left. I ran tests in 3d acceleration but it was totally normal... I lowered the quality of the options for the game.. nothing happened. please help!

Need Help with computer please!?stinger

!st thing you should do is make sure that your computer can run the game that you are playing. Also it sounds like this is world of warcraft or something like that. Make sure you are not using any other programs while this game is going. A good free spyware/ virus scan is this website. It takes about 30 minutes depending on your connection.

www.Housecall.trendmicro.com

Good luck

Need Help with computer please!?virus scanner

You could try to find out "Hardware Requirements" of the game and compare with your computer hardware. If you meet that requirements, then try some anti-spy-ware program or antivirus.

Or, check to see if you run too many programs at the same time, or maybe some anti-spy-ware program or antivirus is scanning in the background. Maybe some desktop application is running, like Yahoo!Desktop or Google-Desktop.

I hope this will help you or at least will give you some idea to resolve your problem.

Have a nice time,

Why is my download so slow? Ways to increase speed for a specific task?

I have a 3mb/sec connection, but my downloads are generally running at 150kb/sec, even with all browsers/AIM off. I know some backgroud processes slow down connection, but it shouldn't do so drastically. I am completely spyware and adware and virus free, and am running MS Windows XP. My connection is DSL and the network manager has it at 3mb/sec. So the big question is, why is my full bandwith not being utilized? And is there a way to set priorities for network connections?

Why is my download so slow? Ways to increase speed for a specific task?suzuki

Alright, i calculated your internet to be able to download at 384 kilobytes per second so you're only using half of your speed that you should be able to get.

There are a few possible reasons that your internet is this slow.

It could be that someone is using your network and you don't know that. To fix this, try disabling all wireless networks or secure it and see what happens.

Another reason is that you have a really bad router. I remember i used to download really slowly, like around 100kb/s but when I switched my router to something else, the speed went to normal speed. So you might want to check your router.

One last problem may be that your router is limiting your speed. To fix this, go to Start %26gt; Run %26gt; cmd

type ipconfig and see whats' next to default gateway.

How do i get rid of these adwares/spywares?

I'm getting these pop ups thats comes up when im not even on the internet but it comes up when i get on yahoo and other sites too! I know they are NOT internet pop ups, they are adwares or sumthing. I've used Ad-Aware, Spybot S%26D, AVG Anti-Spyware, and McAfee Anti-Syware (which i payed for). So i downloaded NoAdware, it found alot of stuff, one that the program descriped as dangerous is called BearShare HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT sumthing. And another that is dangerous is called Purityscan.c. I really want to remove these but i just can't since i have to pay to remove those stuff that Noadware found. So is there any program that is really good that is free that can remove these adware/spyware from my computer so it can be adware free???

Get rid of Noadware - its to beleive to be a rogue program

How do i get rid of these adwares/spywares?viruses

first of all, get a pop-up blocker, such as google or yahoo. the reason your probably finding spyware still is because you need to scan the pc in SAFE mode .. tap f8 on boot up.. then scan. because your not scanning in safe mode the things are re-generating in your registry. spybot and adaware should find it, i have faith in both programs. hopefully your running a decent firewall + av also? if not well that might be issue as well.. you can download avg free/zone alarm free, if u have neither.

Go to Grisoft.com and download AVG free. If you did an true uninstall after turning off the desktop protection then there should not have been a problem. The dll may have been caused by something else. After you get AVG started and updated, go to downloads.com and get ccleaner. It will cleanup any problems with erroneous calls. Works really well with Vista Home Premium.

Can anyone recommend a program to convert mp4 and 3gp files on Vista?

I've been onto download.com and the only one I can see thats free has been reviewed as containing spyware. The guy was very specific on where and how the spyware was on there and I have no reason to disbelieve it. I normally only use download.com and so, want to know if anyone can recommend something that I can convert my video files from my phones onto the pc? The other problem is I run vista, not xp, which is the os that most of these programs are for!

Basically, I have a samsung d900 and a sony ericcson k750i both with video clips, which I want to stick on a normal disc. As long as the videos play on either xp or normal dvd players, it doesn't matter overly.

Half of the questions here can be answered using this

(like why is my pc running slow, why doesn't this work, ...)

1. Download and install the following free (in safe mode if neccesary)

Spyware Terminator

Spybot Search and Destroy

AVG Anti Virus

CCleaner

Zonealarm Firewall

(if you prefer you can use others offcourse like: adware, commodo)

(if you use norton, toss it, its a system hog and isn't any better than the free alternatives)

2. Use the scan function of those programs in safe mode (F8 when starting windows) and remove everything they find.

3. Download firefox

4. Do a system restore (google it)

5. Reinstall windows (google it)

6. Dont click ads, links in I.M. programs, mails, dubious sites to stay safe in future. Nor download programs like KaZaA, Bearshare. Don't visit porn/crack/dubious sites. Don't install software before you google it. Use torrentsites with comment systems like torrentspy and read them.

It would save most of the people alot of problems.

How to get rid of sypware?

is there a free way to get rid of spyware?

i'm really worried.

How to get rid of sypware?anti virus scan

yeah, Spybot: search and destroy works really well.

How to get rid of sypware?ariel

Hi,

Well yes you can get rid of spyware. Fairly easily. I will put a link in this answer where you can get free software program that you can use to get rid of spyware. The first one I recommend is called Spybot. You can download the free version at this site.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirro... Click on the download link on the right hand side of the page from one of the links posted there. Make sure you save it somewhere where it will be easy to find, like your desktop. After the download is finished just double click on the downloaded program and follow the install instructions that pop up.

There are a variety of other antispyware programs out there, free and pay ones, that will also work. I have been using Spybot along with a couple of other ones as well, AVG Antispyware, and AdAware, for years and they have helped me keep my computer clean and running well.

I was going to put a link in here for AVG Antispyware as well but I just found out they are no longer giving this program away for free. You can still get it but it is now packaged as part of AVG's suite of protection programs.

Can't remove a program from "Add and Remove Programs"?

Ok, I have a program called "Advertismen" in Add %26 remove, usually i find programs that are obviously pop-ups. This one is different, smart even. When i choose "change/remove" it says "The system should be restarted to complete uninstall" then with the yes/no option. So I click yes, but when I return to the "Add and Remove Programs" it is still there. So I try to hunt it down, searching C:/ etc. Although it obviously uses different wording/random wording because I can't find "Advertismen". So - I went through all files I decided might be the source, deleting them but no avail. So I tried using anti-spyware, anti-virus and any other free anti software I could get my hands on ... Still there though.

In conclusion - anyone know of any free software that will be able to identify it through "Add and Remove Programs"? Due to the fact I can't find it's source.

Thanks

Can't remove a program from "Add and Remove Programs"?hijack this

You stated that you have used several programs, but here are two more that may help:

Spybot Search %26 Destroy : http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spy...

Ad-Aware : http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007-Fr...

Both are anti-adware and spyware programs. Your program sounds like it could be one of these. Ad-Aware is the easiest to use, so I would suggest trying it out first.

Help! I cann't get my computer to run like it did when it was new.?

I have Spybot Search %26 Destroy and Ad Aware SE Personal, which I use to scan for adware and spyware, I have CCleaner and Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, which I use to scan and clean my registry, I have the latest version of AVG Free, which I use for viruse detection, and lastly I have Kerio Personal Firewall running 24/7. I run these programs daily and remove any issues they find. When I first boot up my computer it works fine but, after about 30 min. it starts to slow down and the longer I stay on the slower it gets untill it freezes up. I added all of the above programs to try and fix the problem, and they do help. But, the only way I have found to avoid this is to reboot every 30 to 40 mins. There must be a better way. Please Help! Thank you.

That is amazing. Ponder this. I have never used an antivirus software and I have never got a virus, 24 years using computers. The only people ever have to fix a virus for are those people with virus protection. Personally, I am of the opinion that somehow the Virus Protection software industry is releasing viruses to boost subscriptions. After all, how do they always seem to have the right patch?

Asafecenter.com program has taken over my computer. Please help!?

My computer has been hijacked by a crappy virus protection program called asafecenter.com. It resides on the task bar and pops up warnings about spyware and the like. It has taken over the IE home page. No matter what I do this web page opens when IE is opened, and the preferred page (Yahoo) is not allowed to open as instructed through the IE internet tools. It also gives spurious popups warning of spyware and the like, and when these balloons are present, the computer freezes until they are acknowledged or cancelled manually.

Also reported are problems with the DVD player that will allow a movie to be run for only a short time, then errors are reported and the player shuts down.

Also problems running games, which freeze or boot off after a few minutes.

AVG Free, does not report any viruses or spyware, although I don't know that AVG is good at spyware.

How can I disable and remove this program?

I use XP Pro, P4, IE7.

the problem with norton is setup.

Ive had the other choices too...definately prefer norton over the others... but for higher end systems.

Definately prefer other choices for lower (older) systems.

Most of what you guys are talking about is doable with norton if u setup things correctly.

As far as email errors, u proabably didnt set it up right.

Ive so far have had only one problem one time and that was years ago, requireing a reinstall of NIS.

Do you hate norton antivirus?microsoft

heh Norton Anti-Virus wouldn't let me send any emails because it kept scanning them saying "some error has occured" so I turned it off.
i dont use norton anti-virus anymore

for me, it uses too much of system memory so i changed to NOD32..it is great

for spyware and adware removal i use ad-aware personal edition and spybot search and destroy...both are top rated free softwares
I call it the Norton Anti-Christ.
I hate it!!!!

I installed free antivirus, firewall and antispyware programs, and my pc runs smoother than when I had that crappy Norton.
HAD it sucked get AVG. Free and Better than all paying one(s) believe me been doing computers for 10yrs. Good Luck.

norton is one of the worste virus programs on earth
I think Norton itself is a virus.
I`m not impressed with Norton at all I had a friend that spent good money on it and she ended up with several viruses over 100 of them

My PC has been infected by ABEBOT. Would reformatng the Hard Drive cure the problem?

One of the FREESERVE users in my area infected my PC with ABEBOT. From a net-surf, I read this affects the REGISTRY of the PC. and so is difficult to fix. Reformating the Hard Drive MAY be an option but I would like to have this move confirmed before losing all the data on the PC.

As an alternative I could do a FULL-install of the XP OS again losing infoirmation, but would this eliminate the virus?

Running AVG and Spybot leaves the problem uncleared so someone, somewhere wants really wants to see what I get up to!!

One story, (I read) is that a concern named PC- Spyware "offers" it's services for free but then reqests payment after one has downloaded it's particular application (The usual nonsense) after which it's "footprint" remains even when the application is uninstalled but leaves sufficient of of itself behind to ATTRACT the ABEBOT virus!! The concern then "offers" itself as a solution with endless popups to cure the problem. Can this be true?)

Clearing Data?

How would I clear data on a computer? For example, when I type something in to Google, it automatically brings up a list of all previous matches. Is there any way I can remove this or turn this off? Additionally, how would I clear my history and remove it completely from my system? My computer runs very slowly because of Spyware and I am looking to free up space in any way I can.

Clearing Data?internet security

You need to delete or empty your Internet Temporary Files.

Open up IE browser %26gt; Tools %26gt; Delete browsing History %26gt; Click on Delete all button

If you do not want to store the previous data,

Then, go to Tools %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; under the Content tab, under AutoComplete, click on settings %26gt; uncheck only Forms, if you want, u can uncheck all boxes

Clearing Data?network security

If you are using mozilla as your browser look at the top of the browser and on the tool bar click on tools and in the drop down menu click on clear private data and the click clear. If using internet explorer look to the top of the browser and click on tools and in the drop down menu click on clear browsing history and then click on what you want to clear. I am not sure about the spyware.
CCleaner will get rid of all history.

Has anybody used limewire?

I am thinking about using limewire. Is it safe? Does is cause spyware? Is it legal? Is it free? Please tell me as much info. as you know and all your experiences!

Has anybody used limewire?internet

Well I use limewire. I've heard someone say that having limewire is legal. As long as you don't go selling songs or something then you're okay. As long as it's for private purposes i think.

Has anybody used limewire?network

Yes it is safe. It has Adware in the free version but no spyware. For more info read this: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/...

I like the p2p program Shareaza because its 100% free and connects to the major p2p networks: http://www.shareaza.com/
Yes, I use Limewire.

There is a free version that is very good and contains no adware or spyware.

It is legal unless you download copyrighted materal.

It connects well is fast and does a great job.

To get the free version go here - http://www.limewire.com/english/content/...
i love limewire! i get lots of music that i don't normally find anywhere else for free! it takes a while to download music but it's pretty good. check it out.
No. Limewire is not illegal. I'm not sure if it causes spyware or not. It is legal and free. The only illegal part is when someone uploads music from you. Be sure to disable that. I use Limewire, and I really like it. Also, I believe this question has been resolved. Check the answers out there.
Limewire is safe and free.

Music downloading?

I have tried limewire (which gave me alot of viruses), bearshare (spyware), and winmx (slow). Any other free programs that dont have viruses or spy ware? i already us itunes, so please dont tell me that.

thanks!

Music downloading?kawasaki

Limewire did *NOT* give you viruses, YOU gave yourself viruses. If you're looking for tunes, then only download MP3 files. MP3's do not contain viruses. If you are downloading programs, and you don't use a anti-virus program to scan the file you just got, AND it has a virus, well you just gave yourself a virus!

Limewire - Is the program. It contains ZERO viruses.

Gnutella - Is the network Limewire connects to. It has lots of viruses.

Viruses - If you don't scan for it, then you deserved it.

Music downloading?nortan antivirus

i dnno, i used limewire and it worked fine for me
The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is morpheous, and I dont think that would be any better for the virus situation then limewire, but Im not too sure. I used it without problems, but I have heard horror stories!. Good luck!

That has happened to me. Deactivate system restore. Start your computer in safe mode and run scan and delete spyware/viruses. Restart your computer and then reset restore. I would also recommend going to www.microtrend.com and downloading the 90 free trial of PC-cillin Security Suite. Obtain their updates. Set your firewall to high protection. Deactivate system restore. Restart computer in safe mode. Run complete scan. Restart computer. Run scan again. Then reactivate system restore.

what is the difference between anti-spyware %26 anti-virus?

plz suggest some free good sofrware for those?

Plz suggest?liveupdate

Virus infects your computer and replicates itself, and spread to other computers, and may do some dastardly deeds as well.

Spyware spies on you, things such as SSN (or national ID for non-Yanks), credit card number, address, phone, web surfing habits, and so on.

Both are usually installed without you knowing about them. The latter is usually slipped in through some other programs you download.

Free antivirus? Free AVG, and Anti-vir

Free anti-spyware? Spybot

Plz suggest?nortin

The diff between Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware is that Antivirus are used to Heal Viruses like Trojans,Worms,Lop etc.

Spywares are those which watches and collects important informations like username,password,details etc.

To stop Spyware Anti-Spywares are used .

AVG Anti-virus Free Edition is best known free Antivirus.

Just Visit www.download.com and search the For free Anti-spyware.

Should we switch to Norton Security scan?matchless

I used to use McAfee but found that Norton Anti-virus was far more efficient in virus detection and was also much easier to configure. It is a bit of a memory hog, however. If Norton says you have a virus, then I would trust them and delete it. For increased spyware detection, I recommend Ad-Adware for a reliable free program and SpySweeper for subscription program ($50 per year but it's the best around).

If you're a Yahoo! customer it's free. The reviews on it are high. It was ranked 1 or 2 in a recent independent lab test.
Mcafee might not have the files available to remove Trojan.Zlob. If Norton shows that it detects Trojan.Zlob, then you should take Norton warning seriously and let Norton remove it. If you don't want to pay for Norton, you can use free products like Spybot Search and Destroy and Smitfraudfix.
