Spyware Stuff for Millennium
Hi.
I would like to ask for your help in finding a very good anti-spyware program for Windows Millennium. Which would be the best anti-spyware program for this OS? However, please disregard the following: - Webroot Spy Sweeper (which is made by a bunch of hungry thieves who mock their clients by not supporting free updates for more than a year or so) - Ad-aware (just doesn't seem too complete to me, and the name itself doesn't suggest that it is rock-solid protection) - Spybot (doesn't integrate perfectly in all OSs and creates errors sometimes) - Arovax AntiSpyware (crap); Dr. Alex (crap), etc. [you get the idea] - any anti-virus software that claims it also protects against anti-spyware (BitDefender, McAfee AntiVirus, Avira AntiVir Personal, etc.), even though it does it [I am looking for pure anti-spyware/malware/adware] Thank you very much. |

When I ran ME I had Ad-aware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard.
It was very rare when I found any traces of spyware on my system. I have to agree with Richard as Ad-aware & Spybot have and still do serve me well. HTH Craig. "Swordlord" wrote: Hi.
