Maintaining security on our systems is becoming more and more difficult - and more and more important - every day. Here are some simple tips to help you avoid and combat intruders, viruses and spyware on your PC. Nothing is 100%, but these will go a long way toward keeping your computing experience enjoyable. \n\nCommon Sense!!!!!! \n\nNever open email attachments unless you know the sender, expected the attachment, and know what the attachment is before opening \n\nUse a GOOD anti-virus program, have it active at all times, and keep the definitions up to date (if it has an auto-updater, use it) \n\nUse a firewall (software or hardware - doesn't matter - just use one!) Even if you have a router use a good software firewall as well such as Sygate \n\nIf using a router be sure to change the defualt password, if using a wireless router you should also not allow remote logins to your router, enable WEP, disable SSID and enable MAC address cloning \n\nUse AdAware and Spybot as scanning programs on a regular basis. You must use both - one will often miss items the other will catch. Neither is better than the other - just different. \n\nDownload and use both SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard from javacool. SB is a passive utility that will innoculate the registry and prevent spyware entries from being installed. SG is an active utility that sits in the system tray and prevents spyware from being installed. Again, they are complementary to one another - use both and keep definitions updated \n\nVisit Windows Update regularly and be sure to install all Critical Security Patches \n\nCommon Sense!!!!!!! \n\nNever go to web sites that are known for spyware \n\nAllow First Party & Session Cookies, but block Third Party Cookies \n\nNever post your email address or other personal information on a web site or forum \n\nDo not allow others to surf the web on your computer - or be prepared for the consequences \n\nCommon Sense!!!!!!!! \n\nNever reply to emails that request personal information, regardless of the apparent source of the request \n\nStay the heck out of chat rooms \n\nTry an alternative web browser such as Mozilla, it is more secure and has a lot more customizable security settings \n\nDid I mention Common Sense? lol!

Try Windows Antispyware.

Get a good firewall such as zonealarm(they have a free version)\nthen it will ask you if it's ok whenever someone tries to get into your computer with spyware/adware.  Probably be a good idea to \nrun a spyware/adware removal tool first.  There are free ones available, do a google search for free spyware removers. Be careful though whenever you download software, sometimes there are spyware or viruses attached.

Yes, here are a couple free programs to get rid of your spyware. Do a full system scan and then remove the items the program finds.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Center/2001-2023_4-0.html?tag=dir

JUST THE ANSWER: Spyware itself.

Not necessarily.  \nFor the most part you want to block/remove any spyware that your software finds.  However, there are some applications that use cookies for legitimate purposes.  You should be aware of what you are blocking/removing from your computer. \n \nMy recommendation would be to block/remove anything detected and if a program stops working or starts responding in an undesired way, go back and allow the corresponding item(s).\n\n9 times out of 10 you should be doing what your anti-malware suggests.

You can try Firefox or Opera.\n\nFor spyware solutions, Spybot is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en

scan with other spyware detection programs just to be sure. Ewidos a good one I would recommend (its only a 14 day free trial) and you can also use ms defender and spybot for long term protection. \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/download/\nhttp://www.spybot.info/

For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!
