  • Spybot: S & D is not spyware. Sony installed it in my VAIO in the factory. No matter how bastardly Sony is, they don't install spyware into a computer. The only spyware I've ever had installed on my computers from a factory was a Microsoft XP.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] apocalypse 343 guys? i don't want to alarm you, but i think spybot S&D is not really an antivirus. a few weeks ago i ask for help with pop-ups and a forum ninja wrote that some antivirus are really adware, spybot S&D was one of the one listed. after i delete that from my systerm, the popups suddenly stopped. and my new antivirus found alot of files infected by a trojan or something like it. i suspect it came from spybot.[/quote] *sigh* I want to flame him, I really do.... But I won't. Spybot S&D isn't an antivirus. It's a program that eliminates adware and spybots on your computer. I am also relativly sure that Spybot was not responsible for the trojan unless you downloaded it from a crappy site. [Edited on 1/29/2005 5:41:55 PM]

  • How do you people get that many viruses, tell me, I'm curious. The most I ever had was 7 when I let my AV subscription lapse for a year.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GameJunkieJim SpyBot S&D works a tad better than AdAware, but the AdAware is much easier to use effectively. Both are great, but don't run them at the same time.[/quote] Yeah, one of my friends tried that and also tried loading both Macafee and Norton on his computer, it wasn't pretty.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GameJunkieJim Well, Norton has a lot of issues with exploitability. Also, Norton sees a lot of AdWare as virii. [url=http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/]Get AdAware and remove all your adware[/url], then run your AV again, you may find the problems solved.[/quote] Really? I didn't know that. Oh well, I still prefer Norton Antivirus.

  • Try [url=http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/]this[/url] program. Its a downloadable program Macafee provides called Stinger. It's free and it will scan your computer and should get rid of the viruses for you. I personally prefer Norton but they do not have something like this. Just keep your antivirus stuff up to date from now on, I suggest Norton. [Edited on 1/29/2005 8:32:26 AM]
