Anti Spyware - how useful is it really ? 

Many Anti spyware programs crowding the market, are they all useful ?

Today we explore the vast amounts of Anti Spywares on the market available.

Many anti spywares are more useful than others.



Some are mediocre, those which can't locate tricky adwares /spywares

lurking in system files, hidden files, locked archive files.



Paid security


AVG

Bitdefender

Norton

McAfee

Fsecure

Trend

Panda

NOD32

CA


One of the best programs :



Bitdefender. It will
discover and eliminate 99,5 % of all your Spyware.



Caution : NEVER use a pirated 
Bitdefender installation !

Bitdefender uses a deadly script to bring your PC to a stand still. In most cases you will not be able to recover from a crash.

We advise against use of pirated software

AVG

CA

Nod 32



A word about Norton security



Whilst Norton is a comprehensive program, I
dislike the many hidden keys,

the intrusion into kernel and registry.
One of the worst programs to uninstall is Norton.

As a novice you will never be able to uninstall Norton from your computer.

Hundreds of registry keys locked away by legacy keys, will pop up over and over again.

Although there is a way to control them, I discourage you from using Norton.



Similar caution I would exercise with :



Fsecure

Panda

McAfee

Some programs are so complex that you can not uninstall them clean. I
advise against using them.



The best news for you as a user is :



You do not have to pay one dime
to get prime protection.
Full stop. More questions ?

First step - downloading Anti-Spyware 

Amongst numerous products offered, the best products - in our opinion - are absolutely free

After years of research we found the most intriguing aspects of all. Many companies want us to pay for their products, like the ones aforementioned.
The result = inadequate protection

Anti Spyware products have flaws, they do not discover all bugs.

Even the most sophisticated ones overlook some of the most trickish adware /spyware undiscovered in your machine.

Today we will show you the first step of how to :
Search,find, and destroy some of the lurking dangers in your PC

1 st free link download

Nr. 1 - A2 squared

Download the software, update it, run a full scan on your machine - remove all bugs found - but hold
you are not finished !

Root kits 

Anti Root kits, what is it, a hidden program in your 'root files' planted by experts, malicious programs whihc can make your life a misery

Root kits have become more and more smart, difficult to discover, disuguised software, intended to frustrate you, to make your Computing life a misery.
But we have an answer for you
.We will show you
100 % free Anti-Rootkit software, easy to install
More - including links in another chapter

If you have not registered to our free program,
please do so now:

Next : the Viscious circle 

Some Spyware is difficult to remove, anytime you boot up, they will show up again

some Spyware is designed to pop up again, over and over, even if you have cleaned it with your Anti Spyware programs.

The reason : The program has installed in your registry, the 'legacy' root nodes.
So, if you thought you have cleaned it, the legacy node will install it again, over and over.

The trick is to eliminate the Legacy root node alltogether.
In the following sequences we will show you how to easy delete the particular rule from the registry.

The next chapter

Taking the task of protecting your P.C.

Immunizing and destroying Spy and adware

Search, destroy, immunization 

Follow the instructions to carry out the next task : Search, destroy, immunize

Once you have installed the program earlier mentioned, run a scan

During the scan various adwares or / and Spywares will be revealed.
Finish the scan, follow the instructions.
Eliminate the found bugs. Follow the instructions
A squared is a powerful program, we ask you to use it daily thereafter.


Next step


Choice Program Nr.2 - Advanced Windows Care

Advanced Windows Care has many features like a professional maintenance program, searching for Windows errors, file attribute errors, registry errors. Whilst we do not advise using the Registry Cleaner, (we will speak about this later), we advocate the use of its Spy Cleaner and Immunizer.

Nr 2 download here


After downloading, install, follow the instructions

When prompted to run the program, click yes.
When the main interface opens, update first under Options
When prompted to run a scan, first uncheck the Registry
Clean option. Run the program.

Download the Personal Edition, which is 100 % free

remove any found Adware, and immunize the system. Follow the instructions.

Unfortunately you have not reached the end yet 

If you thought that these 2 software installations will sove all your problems, think again

We found even after running scans, and eliminating the spyware found, there are still hidden infections.

You are dealing with a menace bigger than viruses
The good news is that Spyware infections are normally less dangerous, they will corrupt your machine, slow it down, and send your data back.
Still, they are a menace and have to be dealt with. The problem in simple terms, EACH software has its limitations.

Next step

Install Anti Spyware Nr. 3

Browser issues


This is an important step, as most of the Spyware is collected in your browser in form of a 'treat' called cookie.

Mozilla Firefox has an add-on feature, the yahoo - tool bar. Open 'TOOLS', add-ons, add Extension. In the search window type "Yahoo tool bar", download, install it. You need a Yahoo account to install the tool bar. When looking through the tool bar features during install, click on : Anti spy ware, install, update.
You can customize the tool bar after you have installed it. Just click the pencil to the left of your browser, Tool bar options. Add or remove the features you like.

Anti Spyware, but which one ? 

The truth is - there is no one-step solution

If you earlier thought this is a minute task, we must dispappoint you.
Unfortunately Spyware has been configured in order to infiltrate, lock, and stay in your system.
Programs have become smarter, as defenders are trying to cope with the ever increasing threat. The threat to system stability and security is real.

In the following we will show you a third program which we found very useful. Again, as the former ones, these are free programs

Please download and install this software

After installing, run a full scan. You will find more bugs.

Clean 'em out.

Then there is Windows Defender 

Windows Defender, is it really defending you ..

We have found Windows Defender a mediocre program to use. Taking up lots of resources, Windows own Anti Mal - Spy - Adware does not fully deliver.

We find that the free programs you have installed so far are giving more results.

Not once have we found Defender to locate only 1 single bug during a scanning process. When using one of the aforementioned Anti Spy Cleaners, one will always find a tracing cookie, or other on his / her browser.
We don't discourage you from installing Defender, there is no harm done by having extra protection to your system.
However without the other programs mentioned one can not become 100 % Spyware free.

Registry Cleaners 

Registry Cleaners - info free sites

Following a anti spy / - malware scan, you should also scan your registry.
This link will provide some useful addresses.
