Kxbc Turbocharged June 30, 2009 Share June 30, 2009 Spybot? Freeware. Has served me well these few years. H/w, don't think there is one software which can detect all spywares. You may have to try a few to fully remove them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Neutral Newbie June 30, 2009 Author Share June 30, 2009 thanks...i downloaded the free version but before i can run it, the software requires updating. somehow, it fails to connect for updating even though the network is working...think the spyware prevent it from updating...

Gh05tss Neutral Newbie June 30, 2009 Share June 30, 2009 There's a SUPERAntiSpyware Professional, worth a try but not free howeve it seems to be able to detect what adaware can't capture. Overall, spybot to me seems the best...low on resource n it works well. TO TS, boot into Safe Mode run your anti spyware n anti virus to scan your files.
