Thars the one, south shore punk, 'cos when I ain't playing bass, I'm out kitesurfing at South Shore, Blackpool here in the UK, and in a previous decade, I pissed my parents off when I bought "Never mind the Bollocks"

You can grt Ad-aware, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Zonealarm and Firefox from www.cnet.com. Go to the download page. Just don't download any of the stuff they (Cnet) recommend.

apple

anyways, i highly recommend spybot search and destroy. in my experiencese its the best by far, as it always runs in the background (optional) to keep the stuff off your cpu.

I use a combination of hijackthis, ad-aware, and spybot. In addition, I have a link on my desktop for the add or remove programs dialog from the control panel. I often find a program has been installed that I did not install. Sometimes you can not uninstall them and you have to wait for an update to ad-aware for them to disappear.

I had problems with Norton Internet Security after the Windows Service Pack 2 upgrade, so I uninstalled it and have not yet reinstalled it, but it found many things on my computer that it could not delete. Then it gives you a link to their website were you can get instructions to remove the listed problem.

This is an uphill battle. Ad-aware and Spybot are easy because they do it for you, but they do not delete everything. You have to work with hijackthis and Norton to determine what to delete and what to keep, and with Norton, some of the instructions are difficult.

If you know what your problem is, search in google for "remove _______" and you will be shown several sites that have instructions on how to remove that particular problem.

Set aside some time to search the web on these topics. Dig in. It's gonna be a long fight.

I'll get on the ad-aware bandwagon... it works well for me...

If you're running Win2K or XP, you should set up a non-administrator web-surfing account that doesn't have program install privileges. This should reduce / eliminate programs getting auto-installed while you aren't looking.
