how can u tell if u have spyware? and how do u get rid of it? my com is acting a little slow.

u would have to either find the spyware on your comp which can take a while especially if u dont know wat ur looking for. the sell spyware blocker and spyware cleaning software at any computer store its like 20 dollars in the states and there are probly cheaper ones. NOTE DO NOT CONDUCT ANY BUISNESS ONLINE IF U SUSPECT OF HAVING SPYWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER(like buying anything also governments are known to use spyware to "check up on you" beware"

Does anyone else use Firefox rather than windows explorer?? Firefox cuts a lot of crap out and I get far less spyware or ads creeping through.

Try AdAware, Spyware Doctor or Microsoft Antispyware.

instead of trying ad-aware try hitman pro

this programme is made by an dutch hobbyist called mark loman

he created a tool to fix browser hijacks

and to head several programmes at one time

at the website says that the gui can be installed with english german or dutch laguage

also does hitman pro kills the alexa spyware threat (formerly known as gator) and it safely cleans up the messenger plus spyware without deleting it from your system
