What free anti spyware software is there other than spybot?

I have had major problems with spyware / viruses since yesterday late afternoon. I have since updated my macfee antivirus and checked for viruses deleting some unwanted items. I have gone though my settings and increased my security, deleted / stopped cookies, stopped mirosoft messenger. I have installed yahoo toolbar with anti - spy and pop up blocker. I have installed free spybot. All seems fine now as I was getting lots of warning and advert pop ups telling me to buy software. I do not have any pop ups now. I read that if you do not 'buy' an anti - spy software and you use free software you should use two free ones rather than one so it is more cover. Is yahoo anti - spy and spybot enough or should I get something else. Could there still be a hidden problem, as the warnings started yesterday evening and I had to go on line and generally use the pc to fix the problem today could someone already have private info on me? One warning did give me IP number of someone?

SUPERantispyware is a good one. It will remove any and all spyware
Windows Defender. Yahoo anti spyware
AGV software, Defender from microsoft, mircosoft antivirus Avanti software, these all work and are free
first do not panic, all of us have had a period in our life while on the internet when we have been attacked by spyware, it only takes 1 mistake by acci ly pressing a advert and before you know it you have 20 spyware files on your hard drive i am glad to see you are using spybot, this is one of the best programs for spyware and if you combine it with adaware lavasoftusa.com / software / adaware / , this will make a good solid defense against most spyware there are a few other good anti - spyware programs avalible for free you can have as many of these as you want, no conflicts like anti - virus programs, try these, i have 7 anti - spyware running at one time 1 spyware blaster javacoolsoftware.com / spywareblaster.html, this is good if you are using firefox as it has active protection for firefox browser 2 super anti - spyware download.com / SUPERAntiSpyware - Free - Edition / 3000 - 8022_4 - 10564983.html?tag=pub 3 ewido anti - spy ewido.net / en / , very good for hard to move spyware 4 windows defender microsoft.com / downloads / details. aspx?FamilyId=435BFCE7 - DA2B - 4A6A - AFA4 - F7F14E605A0D&displaylang=en windows defender is good as it scans in the background and will disconnect you from the internet if anything is found so as not to continue the infection, it can then be safely deleted then, very good program you can safely download and install all of these, as each one detects different types of spyware, so you will have all round protection, and you do not have to worry about memory usage i have anti - virus avast4. 7 7 x anti - spyware, firewall, and i only have 512mb ram on this machine, it runs like a dream my way of thinking is that spyware slows down your p. c, so if you can stop this from getting on to your p. c then your p. c should be fine with 512mb most of us get these annoying pop - ups, they are stuck on these sites by companys who want to fleece you, and then dissapear, do not use them. another good utility is the mcafee site advisor siteadvisor.com / this will let you know if a site is safe before you even enter it, its saved me a few times, and is very easy to use so install these programs and from personal experience your security problems should stop, you will probally find a few spyware in the initial scans but after that the protection in the programs will keep you completely safe, also remember to update these programs weekly, and in the case of spybot and spyware blaster, immunize them good luck
Ad - Aware: lavasoft. nu / software / adaware / Windows Defender: microsoft.com / windowsdefender HijackThis: merijn.org / programs.php
any pc should have these programs on them:any antivirus bar nortons, spybot or spyware doctor, adaware se, windows defender, and cccleaner there all free and available at download.com have a look at their pc starter kit all these are there
Lavasoft do a fantastic free for non - commercial use product called ad - aware. That, coupled with spy - bot seem to keep me failrly free from ads and spyware. Virus protection from avg is also free and very good
Start with your firewall. That should conceal your iden y when you're online. There's a site you can use to test it, in the links below. If it comes up clean then ok, if not then change it. Secondly, what browser do you use? Internet Explorer is ok if you switch off Active X while you are using unknown sites. Only have it on when you know its safe and needed. Its best to use Firefox, its safer online. Thirdly, if you use Avast! anti virus it will scan your web connection for problems and disconnect you if it finds anything. It also finds some Trojands. Next you can use Ewido, its brilliant, easy to use and free. If you don't want to install it then you can use their online scanner once a week. The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. Either of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly. zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall kerio.com Kerio firewall Shields Up security site, check your firewall works grc.com mozilla.com / Firefox web browser opera.com / Opera web browser Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vising unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc. Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder. winpatrol.com Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser. javacoolsoftware.com siteadvisor.com - Site Advisor warns about malware on sites you are about to visit. avast.com - Avast Antivirus ewido.net - Ewido anti trojan Ad - Aware SE Personal anti adware lavasoft.com Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware safer - networking.org spywarewarrior.com / rogue_anti - spyware.htm - The Spyware Warrior site identifies fake anti spyware programs. bitdefender.com - BitDefender can be used as a second, on demand anti virus. ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool Microsoft have two free online scanners that look for malware. safety. live.com / site / en - US / default.htm microsoft.com / security / malwareremove / default. mspx You can also download Microsofts free Windows Defender from the official Microsoft site, and the Malicious Software Removal Tool. Remember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week
Personally I like Windows Defender microsoft.com / athome / security / spyware / software / default. mspx
hi you can get this site it scans wahatever day you want it to its really good to download grisoft.co.uk good luck
Leave Microsoft Defender alone it's crap - Leave Microsoft firewall alone is crap. First use a good Firewall like Zonealarm. free then run a program called counterspy it' free for a limited time then download yahoo tool bar with anti spy - then download download Ad - Aware free then if your up for it only use if you know what your doing download hijack this free
