Adware and Spyware Help

CoLt · 09-08-2004, 09:38 PM

Not sure if this would go into the link area. If it does move it there. Looking around some other forum. And I found this forum addressing SpyWare Removal and such, I skimmed it and looked around. Might as well show it to others who have the same problem (I dont have that much SpyWare on this computer) So this is for whoever is interested.

For those of you that want a fast and fairly accurate response for your HiJackThis Log then try this, not perfect but decent:

XoftSpy owns. At the expense of it destroying IE (which I never used much anyway) it removed every bit of SpyWare I had.
On topic: Neato, I never knew there was a forum devoted to anti-spyware. Thanks for sharing it.

Ad Aware sucks huge donkey nuts.

jonthepyro · 09-09-2004, 05:29 AM

Fish Beans · 09-10-2004, 06:32 PM

I concur, I use nothing but Ad Aware SE and it cleans my computer quite effectively.

You newbs think that you have spyware problems? Here's a screenshot of a computer I scanned here at school 30 minutes ago:

Fish Beans · 09-10-2004, 07:05 PM

This one came from a school computer a few weeks ago.

nickolay · 09-10-2004, 08:53 PM

My modules and processes own yours. I had as much spyware processes as you had processes total. My total number of objects scanned is much lower than yours as well.

Dragan · 09-10-2004, 09:01 PM

go to downloads.com n dl "SpyBot:Search and Destroy" workds great 4 me!

CoLt · 09-10-2004, 10:28 PM

Wow... if you bothered to read this thread or go to my link and browse around. You would notice that a link for both Spybot and Ad-Aware are posted. Also some other good stuff there. As for bad things? I dont have a Screenshot, but when I first scanned it on this computer, I had about 1,000. Now I scan like once every ... I dont know. I scan whenever I remember, which isnt alot. I have like 22 pieces now.

dogstar · 09-11-2004, 12:58 AM

spybot s&d is what my school uses, but i think it sucks. personally i use ad aware se here and 6.0 @ my moms

BloodyBlade · 09-11-2004, 01:44 AM

Nickolay what are you running in the DOS Prompt in the backround.

Im going to download adaware and see how good it is. I currently use SpyBotS&D and have never tried anything else, when I said ad-aware sucks I based it on what most people I know had said about it. It gave my family's computer a ****load of adware, but it was an old version of it.

nickolay · 09-11-2004, 01:56 AM

I ran paint for the screenshot, as it was normally disabled.

i really doubt the adware would come from ad-aware
