Hi

Anyone ever try these FREE anti-spyware programs? Know if they are any good?

1. Spy Cleaner 8.0

2. Omniquad Antispy

Both can be found at download.com. Thanks.

Never tried em...but I use Ad-aware, Spybot search and destroy, bazooka....all free.

For added real time protection...spywareguard, spywareblaster, IE-Spyad....also all free.

For popups I use google's popup stopper.

All the above installed along with antivirus and firewall, up to date windows, I find it almost impossible to infect myself with anything at all.

I analyze hijack logs every day...and while doing that visit all kinds of nasty sites...so far so good...havn't been nailed yet!
