Ad-Aware or Spybot?
Just wondering what you guys think is better at getting rid of spyware, on an ME operating system.

Both what one doesn't catch the other will. Try Ewido at www.ewido.net I think it's better.

Agreed. The best way to avoid spyware is to have a suite of programs to fight it. No program can catch them all. Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Ewido are a great combination. I would also look at AVG for Anti-virus and CCleaner for general upkeep.

I also run both, and CCleaner, too. I still have to try out Ewido, but I've heard nothing but good about it.

Ewido won't run on ME - it's for 2K and XP only.

I use Ad-Aware Personal SE , Spybot & AVG anti-virus on my old laptop running Windows 98 seems to work for me. Have not tried CCleaner.
Where do you download CCleaner, Alaron. I forgot to say I also use Zone Alarm firewall. Last edited by Charlie W; 10-18-2006 at 02:06 AM. |
