Spyware Malware removal?

[GMX]

As title..

I've been pretty disappointed with Ad-Aware recently, it's just crap for the last few years.

What else is out there that is good and not rubbish? (I do not trust the google ads).

Other stuff I use in conjunction is Hijackthis, cwsshredder, just need something to replace the useless bullcrap Ad-aware gives me.:shakes:

I use SuperAntispyware. It seems pretty good.

SuperAnti Spyware or A-Squared

Thanks for all your advice, superantispyware is awesome. Found 9-10 trojans while Ad-aware, Windows defender found squat.

Brian, Format the last resort, I'm a bit lazy and can't be stuffed unless I really have to:up:


This virus/trojan was unbelievable. First the usual popups, ok fair enough. Soon after that I noticed I could not visit other sites while my laptop was fine. I couldn't conduct ANY google search with different browsers. Really painful.

All this from not porn... but a stupid VAGCom cable+software from China. Bloody bastards!

all you need is Spybot Search & Destroy!! has found many more things than any other programs i have used... and Defender sucks totally but does provide a bit of real time protection so i use both spybot and defender together...
had one friend of mine haveing slow downs on their comp... told em to use spybot... 1800 problems later :eek: they are all good again!!! just make sure to uncheck the "Teatimer" during install... its really annoying but can be helpful...

all of the free-ware is pretty bad in detection now a days, it used to be great back in the day, you can also try Ewido Anti-Spyware.
