Free Spyware detection and removal

[Paul]

I found these free spyware programs useful:

Ad-Aware (free) http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot Search and Destroy (free)

Spyware Blaster (free)

Why don't you use Javacool's Spyware Guard as well as their Spyware Blaster?

 

[Paul]

spywareguard, I think, is anti-virus program. It is also free. I do not need it since I have another anti-virus detection program (VirusScan).

Thanks for the info.

Their web site calls it anti spyware, that is designed to run in addition to anti virus software. I have never had any trouble with it conflicting with my anti virus program.

It uses a different method of stopping spyware than spyware blaster does. It seems to be a second line of defense against spyware.

Mike,

Thanks. I downloaded and installed it.
