Spyware/Popup Help
I downloaded both Adaware and Spyware Search and Destroy, both found some spyware on my computer but would not remove it unless i paid around 30 bucks, is there any completely free spyware removal out there?
I have Norton Antivirus that came with my computer, but when i run it, it doesnt come up with the spyware. Thanks in advance. |
Re: Spyware/Popup Help
I've never seen either of these two programs prompt for payment to fix the spyware. But you can always google search for 'Download Microsoft Anti-spyware". This product is free.

Hm I use "spybot search and destroy" (not spyware S+D) and its completely free you can donate but they don't charge anyting to remove spyware.
As for Adware (the free version now seems to be called Ad-Aware) There is a free version for private use and I think there is a pay version for businesses and possibly extra features in the personal version. You shoul not have to pay are you sure you downloaded spyBOT S+D and Ad-Aware SE? |
Re: Spyware/Popup Help
they say that to perform the removal i have to register, and registration costs $30
thanks for the MSFT tip |
Re: Spyware/Popup Help
i just got spybot S+D, and it said i had no immediate threats...?

Re: Spyware/Popup Help
So SpyBot and MSFT both came up with nothing, but i still get the occasional popup ad, is this just something im going to have to live with?
thanks so much guys, i really appreciate the help |
