    damn spyware!!!

    Ive been running ad-aware for some time now and ive got the google toolbar... but since we got tinternet in the flat my computer has been getting buggered by pop-ups and webpages coming up as searchengines etc... ad-aware finds new thingies everytime i run it :down:

    Is there any (free cos im skint :() software out there to download that is highly recommended and shown to work because its driving me nuts! I have windows xp and that new service pack thingy if that makes a difference.

    Cheers :D

    Re: damn spyware!!!

    I can msn you a *cough* free program when I get back home... ;)

    In the meanwhile, try a prog called cwshredder (google it), it's outdated but it depends what's on your system - it may be able to remove it. Also http://housecall.trendmicro.com removes some spyware with worm-like properties. Also, stop using IE.

    If you have reeeeaaaal bad problems, hijackthis can get rid of them, but you have to know what you're doing...

    Not been so impressed... It doesn't notify you of new start-ups like Webroot does - so I've changed back.
