spy bot, remove adware, speed up your PC

When I had a problem with my PC, called AOL and lovely girl gave me a link to the spy ware program that they use.

It's called Spybot, if I run mcafee, then spybot, spybot picks up more little bugs, then removes them!

I've been using it for a week or so, no problems.

Yep, I'd recomend Spybot too. Using it for my laptop and it is brilliant

I've been using spybot for ages and no problems. The following might be worth a read regarding PC security and safety

i'd also recommend ad aware to get rid of adware. i use spybot, ad aware and AVG free edition on my PC and seems to work (touch-wood!)

Don't forget 'ewido' anti-spyware!

I'm a fan of ad-aware too. I run spy-bot first followed by ad-aware, if you're reading this and never used one of these programs then running one for the first time will surprise you with regards just how much rubbish is clogging up your PC.

Don't forget CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) as well. You can get all the latest versions of these great bits of softwear at File Hippo, here.

adware holds the record for installation-uninstallation on my PC. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
