Hijacking of your computer info.

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html - Download Hijackthis and CWShredder. Put them in a new folder named "Hijackthis". Put the folder on c drive. This is important for proper logging of info when you get hijacked. FREE

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ - Download the free version of Adaware and install. Or pay for the advanced version if you want. FREE

http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php - If you don't have an antivirus program and don't want to pay for one then get AVG . It is free and good. FREE

SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, Spybot, Adaware, and AVG all need updating regularly.

Hijackthis and CWShredder also need updating but these should only be used when you have a problem.

Don't bother with Spybot.  The kid has either fallen off of the face of the earth or got a real job.  It hasn't been updated in more than 2 months.  Rely on Spybot at your peril.  Get AdAware, it is updated on average every two days.

Or you can use both.


Each catches things that the other doesn't catch.

I also use webroot spy sweeper.  It is a good program that caught some things that adaware didnt.  6 of one half a dozen of the other.
