Curse

Can anyone direct me to some good anti-spyware etc. programs? Lately my computer seems to lagg up at times making it run really slow which is quite frustrating. Unless someone knows what else may be causing this?

I have used Adaware Alert for the last couple of years and I have been quite pleased with it. It's something like $19.99 for 12 months. You can google and download it in a few minutes if you have DSL/cable.

I use Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Have done for awhile, I'm not sure if it is the best but its free.

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Free, frequently updated and thorough.

You can head over to my website http://lunarsoft.net

In the Downloads section get an Anti-Malware Package. I recommend the professional version.

I have included a PC Maintenance guide that will allow you to safely clean your computer. Once you have done so and receive a clean bill of health, you should read the PC Security section to help protect your computer against future infections.

Thank you very much. And might add that you have a very nice website. I've added it to my favorites. A very good site for the cumulation of all good anti-malware programs, I'd recommend it.

And ofcourse thanks to all the other people who replied.

I use Adware Plus (paid version)
Spybot S&D
CCleaner <~~essential
Windows Defender

If you use Firefox, use Popup Bloker. It'll stop those pesky pop-ups. I never get one on any site, including this one.

I can vouch for Search and Destroy.

About the popup blocker... I use it and still get popups on this exact sight.

Recently I really like A-Squared.

But really you shouldn't have just one, get more than one on demand scanner.

I use:

Avira Antivirus
Windows Defender (if you are using windows this is a decent one that will not bog your system down, it's also got real-time scanning)
A-Squared (for on demand scanning)
Revo Uninstaller (if you don't believe me about how much crap uninstalled programs leave on your computer, try uninstalling apple software or Winamp with Revo. It's unbelievable)
CCleaner (absolutely download this if nothing else)
HijackThis (it's a little hard to use, but it catches everything)

Adaware is coming out with a 2008 beta I may try here soon, and spybot search and destroy is always a good choice.

SuperAntiSpyware is very good. (free version and also payment version)
Even those experts in Kaspersky forum suggest this program.
