This is really interesting. Anti-Spyware Test (Guide) Somebody has done a test of several anti-spyware programs, to see which are the best. Very interesting reading. VERY worth a read if you want to know what antispyware to use. Spybot Search and Destroy didn't come up the top.... but Ad-Aware got good ratings -- something I find relieving, considering that Ad-Aware is still my antispyware of choice after these years. (But I have a soft spot for Spybot too). Again, I state that this is VERY much worth a read. ![]() |

That's quite an interesting read, Tarale ![]() ![]() Never knew at all about that CoolWebSearch spyware either. Nasty sounding stuff ![]() Trapster: are you saying that since you stopped scanning your computer in school, you haven't until next time you're at a LAN party? I'd be surprised what the thing might find. Not sure if you know or not, but not all spyware is limited to opening popup windows ![]() Most of the ones Ad-Aware SE detects on my computer are tracking cookies ![]() ![]() |

Originally posted by Karadur That is a little bug in Spybot Search & Destroy. Two evidence: 1.) I installed Win XP on that new machine five weeks ago. Immediately after setting up Windows XP I installed SP2 offline from a CD- my first two downloads (with IE through the in-built firewall, later replaced by an external one) were Mozilla Firefox and Spybot -I had no spyware but already had that bug and never could fix it until today. Anyway I didn't use IE except for Windows Update then. My system is fully clean, I have no P2P software installed and don't use IE, MS Outlook and do a full antivirus scan in safe mode once a week. And I am up-to-date with WindowsUpdate. 2.) Check that: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/36.html (edited by Surlent on 11-23-04 01:16 PM) |

I think that I forgot to mention that Spybot only could scan through half of the HD. It stopped at a file called "c2 lop", I think and it couldn |

I like spyboys immunize thing, what it pretty much does is adding entries to the host file. Which is quite effective at stopping certain cookies at least. ![]() I use Ad-aware together with Spybot. Becuse I like them both. ![]() |

What do you keep getting, Trapster? It may be that S&D isn't blocking that certain one from getting installed ![]() I assume with your second comment you're just looking for a list of antispwyare programs. Here's a list of links from the ones that are listed in the anti spyware test page: Ad-Aware SE Personal Spy Sweeper Spybot: Search & Destroy Pest Patrol SpySubtract Giant AntiSpyware X-Cleaner Not saying that you have to use all of them, just so you know ![]() ![]() Also make sure you don't download any that are listed on this site. Check out the first bit of text on that page, and you'll see why ![]() (edited by Karadur on 11-24-04 04:23 AM) |

I think I'm gonna barf. ![]() Originally posted by Karadur Ugh. Between this and some MyWebSearch, probably the same thing, about 80% of the school computers are infected. Oh, how I wish I could get my hands on just a few spyware creator's addresses... |

Originally posted by Trapster...Immunize stops malicious servers from contating your computer to install spywares through the host file. It's not removing spyware... ![]() I had problems with Coolwebsearch, but I think my problem was kinda virus related. And well, if the ad-aware program is advertised through a pop-up. It's usually is a fake one. ![]() |

The spyware company that was putting spyware on machines was, I believe, started or owned by a guy that was also a notorious spammer. He was trying his hand at a new business model, it seems.... |
