Comment: Does anyone know of any really good anti-spyware / adaware programs? Because I use Ad-aware 6 then I clean my system and I still seem to get random popups on my pc about every 1/2 hour. The popups are usually gator stuff. Is there anything other than Ad-Aware 6 I can use?

Reply: (edit)I use Ad-aware too, but I also have SpyBot(excellent at getting rid of Gator) and Spyware Blaster(Active X) installed. All three work nicely for me. You can get them at http://wilders.org/ Take care and all the best!

Reply: (edit)I agree with capt above. Spybot Search & Destroy targets some things that Ad-Aware does not. You can read about it and download it directly from the developer's site: http://patrick.kolla.de/ SpywareBlaster is great for preventing the installation of spyware and tracking cookies. SpywareGuard is real time spyware protection. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html The link for SpywareGuard is on that page too. More info too on my homepage: http://www.netrn.net/no_spyware.htm
