You know, even if you have an anti-spyware program, you may still get spyware. Free programs are often created by low budget schools or companies. So to really destroy them all, buy a program. Then the company who's created it will have money to update it

you mean "Spybot - Search & Destroy"?

spyware can respawn, its a nasty little bitch..many keyloggers iv had respawn, like greyfile.exe(gray?) and such.

and if your gettin some "exploit" thingy, thats just a windows bug, ignore that. i get that too with spybot.

And what do you mean virus? name please? are you sure they arnt just cookies?

also, thats an antivirus program, not a firewall, they only remove virus's they find when you scan, they dont stop them from coming in.

Find a nice firewall program and your comp should already have a defualt firewall. Go to control and panel and see. Firewalls protect you from gettin virus's.

I never have problems with spyware... it's very easy:

1) Install Mozilla Firefox / Opera
2) Install Kerio Personal Firewall
3) Install Avast Antivirus (free registration)
4) Don't look at pr0n
5) Don't search for cracks/serials
