May 12, 200421 yr Some tiem ago, I had pc slowing down. No new programs running to explain what was hogging resources. Usual disk doctors and registry doctors either found nothing or locked up. Someone here posted link to get Spybot. It found many adware and spyware installs I was unaware of. Watch those free software demos as they source of such stuff. Spybot took it all out and immunized against most gettign back in, although the odd one like "adclick" is still found back from time to time. Pc was running fine again. Then, week after that same problem of slowdown. But no ad/spyware found. Hmmm. I used Spybots tool section that shows all files loading at startup. EXCELLENT. As you highlight each item, it pops up window that tells you what it is for and whether you need it loading at startup. By letting it take all not needed startup items out pc performance was restored. But I know there's still something wrong somewhere because the Norton Speeddisk defragger still locks up at 65% of opimizing-sorting before it gets to defragging stage. If I turn of sort by access date it will finish. So guessing a file with bad date/time locking it. Diskdoctors found some bad file dates in "divx" folder and fixed but prob exists with speed disk. No biggy as defragging workable withoput acess date sorting.
May 12, 200421 yr I also recommend a program called Spyware Blaster.Between those two spyware does not stand a chance!The guys and S&D recommend the Blaster actually to work with their program. It puts more immunity on your system and they seem to update it almost daily for the latest threats.

Schultz" that's because he know nuting, see nuting, hear nuting. No wonder why I call him a GOOF :shock: :wink:

May 13, 200421 yr Personally i think Spybot is lacking... or at least needs to be used in conjunction with other spyware programs... such as Adaware which i think is the best free spyware buster out there..
May 13, 200421 yr I've been using Spybot for my own systems and my customer's systems for several months now. I usually use it in conjuction with lavasoft's Adaware. I've been very happy with the results.
May 13, 200421 yr AdAware combined with Spybot has proven to be the most effective combo out thereI've been using both for over a year
May 13, 200421 yr I also occasionally use SpySweeper, now that sucker scans, like, EVERYTHING and updates often
