Anti-Spyware Survival Guide
So what do I do now?

.:Back To Spyware Removal:.

There are four major players in the anti-software arena:

• Norton Virus Software
• Spybot
• Microsoft Anti-spyware
• Ad-aware

All of these programs can be downloaded for free from our Free Downloads page. I personally use all of these applications, but prefer Ad-aware. I have the paid version of Ad-aware, which automatically scans for spyware in real-time via their add-on package Ad-watch. I also use McAfee AntiSpyware as different labs find different malicious scripts and therefore afford more protection than counting solely on one piece of software. Whatever you decide, please ensure the following after installation:

1. Check for latest updates immediately;
2. Set options for highest level of scanning;
3. Set option to run at startup;
4. Set option to fix spyware automatically;
5. Shutdown all programs and run a scan immediately

Whatever you decide to use to combat this invasion of your privacy and precious computer resources, you must make sure that it meets the above criteria and that it meets your specific needs. Just like in the real world, some people need more protection than others.
