programmes for spywares

ok my com had been hit by spywares and viruses due to some unknown reason. i thought its a goner,but hey! i manage to solve it all!

and here i recommend 2 programmes.

spyware doc starter edition 5.5

well,as many had heard of it,spyware doc is actually a very good programme,just that many had downloaded the wrong version,those trial 1 which u got to buy the full version

the starter edition is a freeware,so its FREE,got it? but dont underestimate it just because its free eh,it works WONDER,so better install it

oh for those timid brats,its 100% safe to download.

here the dl link

i had problem downloading it using IE,you can try FF if you had problem too.

after installing it,you got to do some configuration.launch spyware doc,click settings

at the general tab;

check all the boxes,and for the "run scan on windows startup",choose intelli-scan.

smart update action:download and install updates(silently)

at the scan settings tab;

uncheck "show disclaimer when repairing"
uncheck "create system restore point before removal"
check "scan for alternative data streams"
check "scan for rootkit hidden files"
check "include "information only" low-level threats in scan results"

next programme

threatfire

this is a virus database that updates a lot of times everyday,which is very different from other updates in other anti virus programmes,because those often update once per day,or once per week,depending on how you configure.

but with this,your virus database will be updated more often,which protects your computer from the latest malware,virus,adware,blablabla.

for more info,take a look at the web,download's from there too =)

Things to remember

althou those 2 programmes that ive introduced are good,please fork out some money for norton,like norton internet security,its good.but it suck at detacting spywares,so thats the purpose of the spyware doc.

however,even with this 3 programmes,if you dont do a scan with them regularly,its bullshit.i would recommend you to scan in a weekly manner.with ALL 3 of them.

as the saying goes,better be safe than sorry,well,for me,better be kia si than sorry,so..just do what i said la!

oh and 1 thing very important,if you use spyware doc/norton,and found any spywares,before you remove them,YOU MUST,MUST,DISABLE THE SYSTEM RESTORE POINT.

you can do that by,right-clicking "my computer",then click properties,and then under the "system restore" tab,check the button "turn off system restore on all drivers",and then apply

only uncheck that button after you had removed the spywares AND restarted your com,reason for that is because,if you dont turn it off,some of the spywares might be restored after you restart your com,which totally defeats the purpose of removing it in the first place eh.
