anybody have good program that will keep the spies out of my computer .

seems like every now an then i manage to find some of that stuff hiding in my computer.

not sure what it actually is called.

i think some of the more computer savvy folks remove it manually and i would opt for this if i knew how.

im a little leary of installing new software...im led to beleive but could be wrong,that all the anti virus stuff still keeps tabs on you and reports this information to someone or something.

any help in this would be appreciated

thanks chris

Click on the link above and choose from any one of the four spots that say "Download" ... this program is called Spybot and is good for removing spyware and its free.

Also, there is a good program (a firewall) called ZoneAlarm that keeps the stuff from getting in... here is the link http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?lid=dbtopnav_za   click on where it says "download free".

Get a good program like Norton, they have aniti-virus, firewall, the works.

I run a little program called Spybot Search and Destroy. It works pretty well in removing stuff that shouldn't be there. It was free too. No problems with the spyware deal either.

Zone Alarm is a good free firewall.

Gees you're slow Marshall.....

Geeze Paula, you're fast.

Awww...you sweet talker you....I bet you say that to all the girls....

maybe Marshall has a slow virus

later gilligan

ps thanks for the tips folks

Zone Alarm is pretty good and free. When I bought my new computer a couple of months ago my McAfee was upgraded with Firewall. I like Firewall better. I use SpyBot and can recommend it.

Also, check your privacy level as far as cookies are concerned. If you are doing some serious net surfing you may want to block all cookies. My normal setting is medium high.
