Anti-Spyware

okay so i just figured out the nortan that came with the computer is only a fucking trial so all it does is scan and not remove.

Does anyone know off a decent spyware thats free... maybe even a torrent?

I have no money, my mom just bought a dog, a 500$ ring and a snowmobile, and she has no money to begging with. Any help would be apreciated.

The best anti-spyware is your brain. Failing that anything you add will slow your system. If you want to have some stuff in place I'd download and install (where necessary):

Spybot Search and Destroy (Free)
Ad Aware (free)
Windows Defender (free)
Combofix (free)


There's probably a few more....but that's a good start.

This one is less known... but seems to be able to take care of some spyware that most others can not: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
For antivirus I use avast! Free and light-weight.

Won't the Norton installed on you computer be an all-in-one type protection. Like Norton Internet Seurity? Antivirus, antispyware, firewall etc. I don't think they do just a stand alone anti-spyware product.

Norton is just flat out bad news as is McAfee. Even with Norton's claim that it's now putting a much lower load on the system it's a bad move.
