Totally clean

I've found a site that does wonders: Totally Clean! The techs here are phenominal. The site is:

http://forum.gladiator-antivirus.com

They have all the appropriate downloads and after reading your log will steer you to any other required downloads. My system has never been faster and I was doing all the above mentioned stuff beforehand.

Go to "Help I've been infected!" Read first time users summary.
Good luck!

Does spyware come from Microsoft? I heard that they planted a robot named alexa in windows that sends all your personal information to Bill Gates...

Send a message via ICQ to ironforge
I've used adaware for a while with good results... I have also used spysweeper but prefer adaware...

It has been a while since I really compared features though.. but then again I don't have a lot of problems with spyware myself.. I just don't try to "punch the monkey"

Believe it or not, Microsoft has an excellent new spyware tool in Beta. I find that it works as good or better than others:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx

It works as a preventative as well.

It depends what you mean by "tweaks". You can adjust many things.

It is Beta, so don't expect too much.

Are there any programs out there that can get rid of spyware on a MACINTOSH?

I don't even know if it is an issue with Macs or not, but my IE runs incredibly slow.
I'm using a G4 Tower with IE 5.1 on a broadband connection at work. It's so slow at times, it just becomes unbearable. I'm not sure if it would be because Spyware or what....

Anyone know of any FREE programs I can use for Mac? (OS 9.2 BTW)
