Thread Name: Tech: Spyware eliminating programs
Subject: RE: Tech: Spyware eliminating programs
We recently had a nasty invasion of spyware on our computer. We still have some files that we know are spyware files that we can't get rid of but they can no longer be executed.
We hired a consultant to clean up our machine and he installed Ad- Aware, Pest Patrol, Zone Alarm and the Google Tool Bar with popup blocker. We already had Norton Antivirus. We run Norton Disk Scan, Ad-Aware and Pest Patrol everytime we backup the hard drive which is about once a week.
For what it's worth, things have been fine for about two months since we've been using this software.
