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... |

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" |

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) |
