I was browsing the net,and suddenly i see a pop-up saying that im infected with spyware,and gives a list to useless spyware removers(they are probably the spyware themselves,so dont download Raze Spyware,and some other thing).Now it randomly gives me pop-ups saying that i have spyware installed,and im sick of them.Any good spyware removers,aside from SpyBot S&D?Im using a Windows XP by the way.

Do you know what kind of Spyware it is? Having never had SW I wouldn't know too well but I heard good things about: https://download.zonelabs.com/bin/promotions/spywaredetector/index3.html

What's wrong with SpyBot?

McAfee has an awesome spyware removal tool, It fixed my computer totally after having 50+ instances of spyware.

But the downsite is that it costs $30..but it is WORTH IT!

AdAware SE
Microsoft AntiSpyware

No it isn't. You can download it for free. Or if you prefer a legal approach, there's many other spyware scanners, like AdAware, Spybot [Search & Destroy], and soforth. You shouldn't just rush out and buy the first spyware killer you see when you get spyware, that's a waste of money.

From i see its adware.I also made my computer reboot when i connect to the internet,but after a quick scan with Ad-Aware SE(i had it installed,but then uninstalled and installed it again),it seems to be okay.Thanks for the suggestions!I appreaceate it!^^

What I use when I clean college computers at work is:
Spybot S&D: Good for getting the real deep stuff.
Ad-aware SE: GAIN killer and gets some interesting stuff.
A newer one I use is Spyware Doctor: Got a few things the others didn't.
Finally, I've never used it but Webroot Spysweeper is supposed to be quite good.

um... my computer just has ZoneAlarm and AntiVir Guard and it works fine. Never had a single popup that I didn't allow.

EVERYONE STOP!!!!! ok i have those lots of times it's just pop-ups advertising and usally there is nothing wrong with your computer don't worry bout it just download a virus program or what ever and it will usally tell you when you have one or you just reguraly scan everytime you get of the internet ok im glad i got that of my chest

Popups like that are spam. <_<
I say get Microsoft AntiSpyware if yar runnin' Win 2000/XP, tch, it really does tha job... tch, an' use Opera or FireFox for less ads and risk of spyware infections. <_<

 

[Morkula]

Spyware Blaster is another good one for spyware prevention. It doesn't remove it, but it keeps it from ever being installed.

 

[x-treme scripter]

Yeah and if you want toget opera the website is www.opera.com (obviously)

 

[Geometric-sama]

I say use Firefox to BLOCK POPUPS that claim you have spyware and then infect you when you click on them.

 

[x-treme scripter]

Whaere'd ya get firefox? I can't find it.

 

[pokejungle]
