Adware / Spyware blockers

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Apologies for asking old questions (I looked for the previous thread but got bored on page 8), but are there any decent free programs that do the above.

Cheers in advance,

Dave

How ace. If you type 8, and are then foolish enough to follow it with a close bracket ), you get a cool face. Wonderful.

Spyware Blaster as well is very useful. Stops the stuff from installing in the first place:

try www.snapfiles.com (used to be www.webattack.com) and in the freeware section you'll find what you're after :)

Cheers peeps,

I've now got ad-aware and spyblaster installed, and funnily enough my PC seems to work a bit quicker. Fancy that.

Cheers again O knowledgable ones.
