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: http://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!

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.

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.

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


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell
