Spyware/adware removal software

[immortality]

Hi All,

What do you guys recommend for spyware/adware detection and removal?

I've just re-installed super anti-spyware free addition as the old version was freezing.

maybe there should be a sticky thread with this kind of information with links to preferred software. maybe include anti-virus software as well.

cheers

try spybot search and destroy, it works a treat. The home of Spybot-S&D!
microsofts security essentials is also good. http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
and last but not least adaware. Ad-Aware Free - Download Internet Security Software with Antivirus & Spyware Removal - Lavasoft

I run all at once without any hassles. AVG Free is also a decent antivirus app too.

yep spybot S&D has removed crap from my PC numerous times. Even after Norton 360 kindly let some maliscious shit through

we uninstall microsoft security essentials..

Spybot is awesome. So it malwarebytes. Between the 2 you cant go wrong.. For AV i suggest Avast free..

I like Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes myself...SpyBot is also good. Those three catch just about everything without really bogging your system down (unlike Norton....)
