Why does Spybot Search and Destroy look so weird?

It looks a lot 'different' than many of the adware/spyware/internet security programs I have seen, including the free ones. When you do an 'update'...it wants you to pick from various weird servers that are all over the world, as to where your download updates are going to come from. What's up with that? Most of those sites, I have never heard of...some don't even look like legit sites. Does anybody else use SS%26D and see this stuff? I got it from CNet's download.com. Just wondering why this interface is so weird, and why it downloads all of this crap with a bunch of odd extensions that aren't like other virus/spyware/adware extensions most programs have. Why does this one look so...what's the word..."hacker-like" with a bunch of crap everywhere on it? When it's searching...at the bottom it states that it's running a 'bot check'; and scrolls through all of these hundreds of crazy extensions it downloaded from who knows where. Just wanted to know how 'normal' this actually is?

Its just a glitch in google. Used originally to prevent hackers or bots from doing things. Ignore it. You probably typed something in that set it off.

Yahoo and google links hijacked to webcry and porno sites when clicked from search engine?

Hi all,

The computer I am writing from is a working ambulance dispatch computer. The latest problem is the links from search enjines being redirected to webcry, and another site not affiliated with the search result link desired.

This is causing issues with the bosses thinking employees are cruising porno on the job. I am a supervisor and keep telling them that this is not nessesarilly the case as it does it automaticly, and my poor crews cant use a good tool for fear of a write up.

I am ok wit the computer and I have got AVG and Panda running the problem is restarting the computer as it is a busy machine and is needed to dispatch and track ambulance units and the log in process for this is sometimes too long.

How can I make my SLOW computer a bit faster?

My computer is quite slow. I'd like to make it a bit faster if I can, as it is quite annoying, but I'm not sure how.

Its a Compaq, only 3 years old, with a 325 processor, 256 MB RAM, and 40 GB hard drive, however, about 2 years ago I had Geek Squad install some more memory - I forget how much. But it was a fair bit.

I don't have any unnecessary programs or games or anything. And I always save all my photos and Word documents onto SD disks so they don't take up any memory. I do have some music saved on my computer, but not a massive amount.

It's really slow when I want to do simple things like switch tabs on IE, open Start Menu, when it comes off screen saver etc. I do disk cleanups all the time and I defraged it not too long ago.

I shouldn't have any spyware or adware (I don't think?) as I have a good security program with virus %26 spyware protection, firewall and spam controls.

Is there anything (free) that I can do to speed it up a bit? Thanks for your help :)

How can I make my SLOW computer a bit faster?free spyware remobal

Take the money that you would spend upgrading that computer and use it to buy a new computer. A 325 MHz processor is worthless with modern apps. They make cell phones with faster processors and more memory than your computer. You can get a perfectly acceptable web surfing e-mailing machine from Dell for like $300.

Could AB System Spy be installed on my computer without physical access?

During recent spyware scan above (commercial, although I note a 30d free trial is available) was detected. I used Counterspy and Adware-SE, and only one other piece of spy ware (an adtracker) was found. I have downloaded couple of shareware programs recently, could it have invisibly installed via the .exe file? I didnt think commercial programs could be remotely installed like this however. The computer is standalone at home, windows XP, broadband connection, Mcafee Virus Check plus firewall (most recent) and above spyware detectors. Thanks

It's possible, depending on the sophistication of the installer and how the program is written. Although this link is trying to sell it's own antispyware program, it has a really excellent overview of how spyware works.

How can I check if my computer security suite is working - I keep getting nothing whenever I run a s

I presently use Firefox exclusively as my browser, Sunbelt Personal Firewall (paid registered version) is always running, Webroot Spy Sweeper is my main anti-spyware with Ad-Aware as secondary backup, and AVG Free edition is my anti-virus. In addition to that, I always run CCleaner after every internet session. I'm running on a Windows 2000 professional OS. Now the thing is that I run a scan with Spy Sweeper and AVG about once a week, but not once in about a year have I gotten anything at the end of any of the scans but "congratulations! no spyware/virus found" at the end of the scans. So what I need to know is whether my security suite is really working that well, or could there be something that it might be overlooking.

Any knowledgeable opinions out there?

How can I check if my computer security suite is working - I keep getting nothing whenever I run a scan?hp

It boils down to this: You can trust your defenses, or you can get paranoid. Why would finding problems make you feel they were working better than not finding problems? If they found two, would you worry there were three?

But if you want to go to the next level, there's a ritual called the Security Tango. Go here to find out about it:

It hasn't found a SINGLE virus on my computer, and I doubt that. I'm also using Spybot S%26D which doesn't seem to be helping and only slowing my computer down. I also have Ad-Aware 2007, but it only finds cookies and stuff.

Does anyone have a good antispyware AND a good antivirus that they can recommend? Please give any negative information, and maybe the OFFICIAL site for downloading it? And it has to be free please. No trials either. Thank you!

Virus Program?internet security

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.

i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.

download firefox for free, Just have a try:

Which is the best anti virus for Windows Vista home premium on a laptop?

My laptop has 2 GB of RAM and loaded with Windows Vista home premium edition (32 bit). It has a McAfee trial edition installed on it (came with the new laptop only). I am connected to internet most of the time while working on my laptop. Off late, the system is running slow (even the basic applications) and shows some weird behavior. Though the McAfee scan shows no malicious items found, I am afraid my laptop has been infected.

Which antivirus is best for me? Also, please suggest some good Firewall and Spyware/busters too, which works with Vista (most importantly).

Free ones will be great to have, though I am willing to purchase one.

Which is the best anti virus for Windows Vista home premium on a laptop?kawasaki

Try NOD32 (www.eset.com), they had free version for home users and works on Vista. Norton 360 might be a bit slower, though you got enough RAM for it.

Windows firewall is usually enough for your security, just switch it on. Norton has a firewall on its own, but I kinda do not like it. Well, thats personal taste.

For anti-spyware, Try SuperAntiSpyware free edition, Spybot search and destroy is recommended by lots of people as well, though i wont use it myself on almost any conditions ;)

. For paid ones I would go for spyware doctor, counterspy or spyware sweeper.

Mac OS X and you are the best anti-virus and anti-spyware for a Mac, at least for now. If you really want anti programs, download and install ClamXav and Little Snitch. ClamXav is free while Little Snitch is a shareware program, it will stop after 3 hours then you will need to restart it if you don't buy a license for it.

All the security programs I have..?

Please help me.. This is what I have

Planing to have these:

Spybot, search and destroy for spyware related

Smitfraudfix for trojan related

AVG 7.5 free antivirus so viruses won't get on my comp

Zone Alarm Personal Firewall so nothing gets through

Planing to delete these before I get the other stuff:

All my norton related stuff *firewall, antivirus*

is that a good combo sort?

All the security programs I have..?live update

Yes, the combination you are going to get is quite good, even though I would have preferred a few modifications. First of all, it will be unnecessary to keep SmitfraudFix all the time in your computer. Just download and use it if you ever are infected by Smitfraud. Next, Comodo Personal Firewall is much more powerful and better than the ZoneAlarm Basic Firewall, so get it instead (it's free too). Now coming to the anti-spyware, SpyBot alone isn't sufficient for complete spyware protection, get another one like Windows Defender or Spyware Terminator (they have real time protection). SpyBot will get along easily with either of them. Also make sure that you DON'T enable the Tea Timer feature of SpyBot. No comments on the anti-virus part.

Why am I getting pop-ups of naked women on my yahoo homepage?liveupdate

pop-ups like that are usually displayed by specific software called adware which sneaks on a computer and loads advertisements like the ones you described. this has nothing to do with yahoo website or other legitimate websites. your computer is infected with adware and it will display those pop-ups even if you change homepage or visit different websites.

i must warn you that products promoted in such a malicious way shouldn't be trusted.

run anti spyware scan to remove adware from your computer. but don't use spyware scan promoted by adware, because you will download more computer parasites instead of security tools. if you don't use anti spyware yet, you can download legitimate ones here: http://www.2-spyware.com/compare.php

Is there such a thing as an Internet connection log?

Everytime I am away from my computer for any length of time ( a few hours to a few days) when I return - it has logged itself onto the interent and different folders are open on my desktop...Programs/Common or some misc. text file from my desktop. Is there a way to see which program requested the connection to be established? I have SBC Yahoo's included Norton antivirus/spyware running and it says that I am bug free. Please help....it's freaking me out a bit....like I'm being watched!

Is there such a thing as an Internet connection log?malware

Couple of things you can do.

First,, you can install a personnel firewall (Comodo is an example that is free). It will only allow connections to the internet which you explicitly allow. If anything else attempts to connect, it will be logged.

Next, you can install a packet sniffer (I use Wireshark). This is a bit more complicated since you would have to be fairly familiar with TCP/IP traffic. You can't really hurt anything using this, you just might not understand what you are looking at.

Although your AV is not picking anything up, I would recommend running a rootkit detector as it sounds like someone might be controlling your desktop remotely.

Hope this helps.

Is there such a thing as an Internet connection log?norton 360

Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and look at the logs to see if you can narrow down what is causing you to automatically log on.

Also check Control Panel, Scheduled Tasks to see if anything is indicated there as well.

Finally go to Control Panel, Power Options and confirm that you are set up to actually turn off the computer. It could be actually going into a hibernation or sleep mode then restarting when a scheduled task comes due.
yea...kinda....cookies, cache, history. And also people can put keyloggers, trojans, and session capturers on your computer easily.

Why is my Laptop running slow all of a sudden?

Why is my Laptop running slow all of a sudden?microsoft office

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

http://www.delete-computer-history.com/w...

2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

Computer scans ????????????

i use ad-aware, spy-bot s+d ,spyware doctor, and cc-cleaner as well as AVG free.. is it ok to use all of these to scan at the same time or should i run the scans seperatly?thnx guys.

Computer scans ????????????microsoft

NO! Your computer will crash.Take my advice. UNINSTALLE THOSE CR*PS AND DOWNLOAD SUPERantispyware wich scans also Spywares,Trojans,Malwares,viruses.It's TOP 10!Donwload the free edition.

Computer scans ????????????norton ghost

I have everyone there apart from AVG, and yes it's perfectly fine.

CCleaner isn't a spyware/malware scanner like the others, it scans for inaccuracies in your pc and file structures etc.

Spyware Doctor isn't technically a scanner, because it blocks websites known to contain malicious sctipts and spyware/malware.
Don't run them at the same time.

Here's (one of) a reason.

If one of them detect spyware/virus on your PC, one of the other will also likely detect it too. Now when the scans are done you will either choose to remove the spyware/virus or quarantine it.

Here comes the problem, If you quarantine it, one of the other programs might still detect it in the quarantine folders of one of the other programs making quite a fuss in you machine.

Run one of them at a time.

It will save you alot of trouble.

I also have several scanners on my PC. When I do my weekly scan I choose the one that I didn't use last time, increasing my chances of catching malware on the computer.
Not a good idea. Run one at a time. Actually it over kill
it would't hurt your pc to run them all at once but it will slow each proccess down..in fact your pc might even freeze so running them one at a time would be the best option...

I went on 1 Website, and then i clicked back to back to yahoo. now it wont let me go back what shoul

it keeps changing the page im on to porno, and it wont let me hit back, so far it only happened like three times, but im still worried (ps i got this from a website i found on yahoo search) i use pctools antivirus, searchanddestroy antispyware, zonealarm firewall, and avg free.

Either You found Yourself a "nice" browse helper object?

They can be selectively managed/deactivated with BHODemon.

Explanations at 1.) download at 2.)

Else it is a html command (refresh:0) that does not let You use the back button. No solution but to enter a new url to url bar or shut down and start a fresh browser session ( even the new alternative browsers such as Firefox are prone to fall 4 that html command / and they do not fall for many things ).

Should I Use A Complete Internet Security Program On My Computer?

I have a 1 Gig P3 processor with 512 ram on my pc. I am told conflicting advice.

Some recommend using a internet security program such as Norton or McAfee for security.

Others say that these programs use up too much resources and if a virus and spyware scan is performed at least once a week that is sufficient.

Currently I use AVG free edition with basic Windows Firewall. I run antivirus and spyware scans about twice a week with little or no problems.

What is ideal for an older system like mine besides buying a new computer?

Should I Use A Complete Internet Security Program On My Computer?network security

You have what you need......AVG is an excellent antivirus program, just make sure its up to date.....Windows firewall is sufficient for the majority of end users (normal pc users), and if you also have spybot search and destroy along with adaware installed and you run scans as often as you say and keep them up to date....no need to get anything else.

The "all-in-one" security suites just basically interface the different components into one program rather than running three or four.....Norton is a system hog, and Mcafee isn't much better....but all they really do is run all those programs you already have, all at the same time from one interface, so if it aint broke, don't fix it.

My computer is moving super slow help someone?

My computer is moving super slow help someone?network

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.

Run a virus scan weekly.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virus...

Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...

Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....

Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

It's main features include:

Ad ware remover?

where can i find a free ad ware remover, i dont want it to have spyware or virus protection i already have spyware and virus remover, i youst want adware remover....thanks

Ad ware remover?nortan antivirus

spyware, adware, malware....

your spyware program should handle them all.

If yu are looking for a real good free one, check out http://free.grisoft.com

Ad ware remover?nortonantivirus

I would highly recommend Windows Defender (if your using Windows that is). Microsoft purchased the software from a company called Giant a few years back. Giant had the best engine and definitions for spyware/adware and now microsoft took that and made it free. goto: www.microsoft.com/spyware

(I know you didnt ask for virus protection, but in case you ever need it in the future use AVG Free Personal Edition. Its the best on the market, in my opinion for the end/home user. http://free.grisoft.com )
adaware, download it at www.download.com
Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirro...

Adaware http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Pers...
Try these:

Microsoft Windows Defender (it's free and from Microsoft)

Spybot Search and Destroy at http://www.safer-networking.org/

SpywareGuard at http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareg...

SpywareBlaster at http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareb...

Keep in mind that these software do not always fully remove adware and that some may require "hand" work on your system to be fully removed.

Windows Defender says no unwanted or harmful software detected.?

Cyber Defender says there are 50 or so problems found. (Spyware%26Adware)

Norton always finds one tracking cookie

Both are free versions and I'm unable to delete the 'problems' with the free version.

What should I do, and are there any TRULY free versions where I can scan my computer and remove any problems?

Windows Defender says no unwanted or harmful software detected.?nortan

Online scanning services are really free:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Free-Online-...

Except Kaspersky, each offers removal.

If you want stand-alone desktop product, try AVG antispyware. It works 30 days in trial mode, than some features get disabled - but scanning, updating and removal work anyway.

Windows Defender says no unwanted or harmful software detected.?noton

unfortunately, every single one of those services will find something different in your system and have different ways of getting rid of it too. All are good systems too...here's another one that I like to use and recommend it to people...heck, I've recommended it to so many people I should get a kickback or something...lol

It's Advanced WindowsCare from iobit.com

It's in their downloads section on the upper left side of the page.....I use the personal version and LOVE IT!!!!
For spywares, you can dowsnload yaho toolbare that contains free antispyware

you can get it from here:

http://toolbar.yahoo.com/
This is free and does a lot deeper scan than most.

Follow up of a previous question on what is the best anti-virus software for a laptop PC?

Firstly my thanks to the many who unselfishly and patiently answered my earlier question. I have in the past installed "free" software such as NOD 32 antivirus system and AVG Anti- spyware version 7.5. However I was told that I cannot update these and so it seems that after a few weeks or months such software becomes ineffective against any new viruses, worms, trojans, spyware and malware. So while many of you gave me lists of FREE anti virues etc etc software, will I have the same problems with them if I am not able to update these FREE?

Follow up of a previous question on what is the best anti-virus software for a laptop PC?norten

USE Avast!

http://www.avast.com/eng/free_virus_prot...

Simple

Free

works a charm

Follow up of a previous question on what is the best anti-virus software for a laptop PC?panda

NOD-32 and AVG Anti- spyware 7.5 are not free programs. You have the trial versions.

However:

AVG Free and AVAST Free Antivirus programs can be updated as often as you want. In Fact they update automatically (for free). AVG also has a Free spy ware and rootkit programs. But the 7.5 is not the free one.

Google "AVG Free" and you will be taken to the correct web site for downloading the Free ones.

Windows 2000 Printing error - need urgent help!!!?

PROBLEM - My printers have suddenly been deactivated. They sometimes show on the printer list, and when I refresh the list, they all disappear. I tried to add the printers again. When I hit the Add printer icon, I get a pop-up saying - "Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of resources. Printer subsystem not available".

SOLUTIONS TRIED SO FAR -

Tried the time tested "reboot a million times" option - nothing.

Tried freeing up space on the C drive - to free up system resources - didn't work.

Have checked for spyware, viruses, etc. Came up zilch!

Tried reactivating print spooler from Administrative Tools/Services. The printers are displayed after spooler is run, but disappear when I refresh printer list.

OS - Windows 2000 Server Edition. Working over my office LAN - all the printers are on the network. None of the other machines on the network have this problem.

Please help!!!

Windows 2000 Printing error - need urgent help!!!?nortin

Try this:

Click Start -%26gt; Run and type cmd and click OK

At the command prompt type these five commands

cd c:\winnt\system32\spool\printers

net stop spooler

del *.* (after enter type y for yes)

net start spooler

exit

Now try your printers

The c:\winnt\system32\spool\printers folder holds all of the print queues, not the actual printers themselves so don't worry about having to re-install anything.

To delete any bad jobs the spooler service has to be stopped first, hence net stop and net start spooler

Hope this helps!

Windows 2000 Printing error - need urgent help!!!?pc security

Turn off computer UN plug printer from computer and from power wait a minute or two plug the printer to the computer then to the power start computer, it should recover.
Uninstall the printer. Then reinstall, and make sure it is listed as the default printer. Good luck.

Good antivirus antispyware combo?

I have Norton Anvivirus and it SUCKS I obviously have a whole bunch of spyware on my computer and most likely come viruses and it won't detect them. I want a new antivirus program but I heard that good antivirus has crappy spyware and adware and good spyware has crappy virus protection, so i was wondering if i could just make a cocktail of antivirus spyware/adware, firewall, antispam etc. programs that you can get for free. if so, please list the best ones

How much do you want for free?

I have the same thing, but you just have to think about updating the virus definitions every couple of days.
"Google Pack" (http://pack.google.com) is a suite of free software made available by Google.

One of the components in the pack is Spyware Doctor SE, a very decent anti-spyware. In my experience, it performs much better than Microsoft's Windows Defender.
you can go for ad-aware 2007 it is best it not only removes spywares but also trojans adwares etc. and moreover it is absolutely free and gives daily free update. you can download it from www.download.com
Trust Me, SpyBot Search %26 Destroy is the best one out there. Of course you might have noticed variations in AVG antispyware %26 SpyBot scan results.They are immaterial.

Firefox..?

Okay, so what exactly is firefox? Just another "safer" internet broswer? I heard it's free and more protected from spyware.....

So if u use it and IE(internet explorer) please tell me what's so great about firefox. And if u download it, u can switch btwn IE and Firefox whenever u want, right? Please and thank you!

Firefox..?antivirus downloads

It's another web browser. Some people like that it's supposed to be more secure - but if your PC is set up right %26 you use it wisely, there's no big difference in security.

I've tried IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari %26 Opera. I got the best performance from Opera. But I have now gone back to Internet Explorer (version 7). There are simply too many web pages that DO NOT WORK with other browsers. And I'm not talking about obscure sites - I'm talking about mainstream pages, like my (large national) bank's website.

You can download another browser %26 use more than 1, depending on whatever your criteria is. But you will have separate sets of bookmarks/favourites to maintain - and that's a pain.

This information is my opinion - based on 28 years writing software, 25 years as a computer owner, 20 years as a professional software developer/designer %26 10 years online.

It is true that anti-virus packages may slow down the speed of you system, but that is something you must live with if you are determined to protect your computer from viruses.

I have Nortan internet security (have had it for 2 years) I have never encountered any problems and it has been well worth the money as it has blocked many viruses that otherwise would have 'killed' my computer. Personally I wouldn't be able to say for sure if it has clowed down my computer as I've had the software installed since day 1.

I say definitly get something. :)
Check your task manager (Ctrl +Alt+Dlt) to see exactly how much memory the antivirus is using. Also, ensure that the antivirus isn't automatically running a virus scan when you log on to windows.

Am i safe or could i do better eg diffrent product?computer virus

Good advice from Chris and Colin.

Online Armor is very good.

AVG free is probably the worst of mainstream AV programs, offering very little protection. See: AVG free anti-virus: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/

Avast offers a lot more for the same price: Avast free anti-virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/av4_version_com...

Windows Defender has one two good points, it's free and it provides (some) real-time protection. But it's buggy and doesn't find and remove as much as SuperAntiSpyware (also free). Maybe keep WD for it's real-time protection but use SAS for on-demand scanning.

Get Ad-Aware Personal from www.lavasoft.com. It's one of the best antispyware programs out there and it's completely free. Yahoo antispy is pretty useless. AVG is a decent antivirus so you can stick with that.

Never ever pay for an antispyware program. The best ones are free. The ones that ask for money are usually scams. If you're not sure about which ones are scams you can check at www.spywarewarrior.com
yes yahoo anti spy is a spyware removal, you can also go to download.com and search for free ad-aware exe. if you would like me to send you a copy let me know... dont worry you will not get a virus.
