Totally agree

Havent use Webroot myself, I use SpyBot Search and Destroy

Have found it to be very usefull indeed.

 

HTH

i swear by ad-aware 6. have you checked for updates as i dont get any pop-ups at all! (mind you MyIE2 is pretty fab too!)

re previous post by SRRAE... bein' total compo geek since 1979 and an "IT pro" (read skiving git) now.. I used to think Ad aware was 'ok' but spy sweeper from webroot is miles better :D

 

re previous post by SRRAE... again good call :)

Thanks guys Spy sweeper is excellent.

 

Has anyone bought the $30 full version are we all using the free downloadable version?

Still on the 'freeware' version.....

OK, I've downloaded and run it. It found a couple of 'diallers' and a few 'traces', but MY SYSTEM HAS NOW ALMOST GROUND TO A SHUDDERING HALT!!???! You know the 'click' sound when you select a link? Well that sound is now about 5 seconds long, and it take about a minute for my mouse arrow to get from the top of the screen to the bottom. I've done a thorough 'scan-disk' (no errors) and I've also defragged my hard drive, and re-booted god knows how many times. When I close the 'sweeper' my system returns to normal. Any ideas?

Don't sound good fella, my system runs fine with no problems, I leave it running in the back ground.......

 

.....no problems at all.

 

What OS are you using?

 

Matty.

It's on ORIGINAL Windows '98 :rolleyes: It's the firms PC at work, and I only use it for MS Office type stuff (and surfing). The IT bods at head office figured I didn't need an upgrade :( but then they are the DIMMEST load of Brummie Fackwits I've ever encountered!! (...errr I don't know what that could be. Can you get someone local to look at it? or you'll joost have to put up wid it :xxx: :mad: )

 

No probs, I'll uninstall it. At least it got rid of the few it found on the system.

 

Cheers!! :)
