I downloaded this program called Ad-aware and it scans your PC for spyware.
It's free to download and works very well. When I ran the program it found 151 spyware crap. :eek:
Some of the files are linked to IE so I couldn't delete a few spyware files and IE crashed everytime I ran it. Probably because I deleted some of the spyware. So I restarted into safemode and ran Ad-aware again and deleted the remaining files. IE works fine again and I'm free of spyware. :D
The benefits of removing spyware are great. It won't hog your network connection. It won't use your CPU. Plus no one knows if you have been to playboy.com. :naughty:
So I offer everyone a challenge. Download spyware and run it. See if you can beat my 151. :king:
:WARNING:
If your using Kazaa or Divx5 they will not work when the spyware is removed. They refuse to work without the spyware. A safety feature in them prevents you from using there software without it. Of course there are ways around this like Kazaa Lite or Divx5 spyware detect removal hack. Other programs may need there spyware. Those are the only two that seem to need it. Also to 56K users the download for Ad-aware is under 1 meg. Just some FYI. Go get it.
