Useful tools for
removing adware, popups and spyware.
Spybot Search
& Destroy
Spybot -
Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from
your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common
anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your
Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser
crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing,
you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you
may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is
silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of
you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free,
so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your
computer, too :)
Malwarebytes
We have had a lot of success with this tool recently. I is
free to download update and use but if you want the full package that
update and scan on autopilot then you need to buy it.
Hijackthis
Intended for
advanced users.
HijackThis
is a tool, that lists all installed browser add-on, buttons, startup items
and allows you to inspect, and optionally remove selected items. The
program can create a backup of your original settings and also ignore
selected items. Additional features include a simple list of all startup
items, default start page, online updates and more.
A Dose of Prevention

spyware from installing in the first place!
Spyware, adware, browser
hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the
Internet today.
By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your

fiends!
The most
important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster
