The 3 FREE best Anti-Spyware
tools I use
I have used all three of these
for over 6 years now and I keep reccommending them to
people, why?
Why 3
programs? I have 4 computers running all the
time at my house, and this has
allowed me to learn about all kinds of nasty
spyware. When I ran only Spybot, a few things
slipped by, then I added Ad-Aware and Spybot
caught a few things that Ad-Aware missed, then
I added Avast and now I never get infected. My
main program that runs 24/7 is Avast. I love
their little alarm that goes off if you
encounter something potentially dangerous, or
your kids are on a site trying to download
something unsafe.
As a parent this allows you to actually prevent
it from happening.
I discovered the other two are great for scans
and helping me see what is going on with my
system. Sometimes they find things that I did
not even know where there.
It seems like since I got vigilant with Avast
and have kept up with my monthly scans, life
has
gone much smoother on the spyware front.
Those scums who create it and infect your
computer range from prankster level to
dangerous
criminals stealing your personal
information.
If money is tight, just use the free versions
of all three of these programs.
I have for years and they are still doing a
great job!

Edition FREE version!
Avast will ask you to
register after the demo period, but the
home
version is always free.
They send you a registration number once a
year.
For the paid
professional version. It only costs 39.95 and
is by far the best program I have found.
Since I started using it over 4 years ago none
of my 6 computers have gone down with
spyware
problems. Before that I had tons of problems,
since my kids are very active online and
downloaded tons of music and free screensavers,
( very bad idea period.) We had spyware
toolbars and some really nasty stuff that took
me forever to remove!
They have a Mac Version too now, (not that
Mac's get many infections in this
area)
