lmfao... ouch.

[ZfrkS62]

holy crap! been to a few porn sites have you? :wink:

[jamberl]

ouch, lucky you scanned your computer. Is that program free?

[AlienDB7]

There's a free version available.

[DMbaseball1604]

yeah but the one you pay for is better..I happen to have that one..I have no way to get it to anyone though..but I can say that with the plug ins, namely reg edit, it does an excellent job...go to all the porn sites you want..and you will have no problems..

[acs power]

I use it too. It does very good work, before I was using SpyBot but Ad-Aware is better. And according to me out of the free versions SE is the best.

[possessed_beaver]

nice, pretty impressive collection,

what's the name of the full version of adware, beacue i want to uhhh.. buy it

Keep both of them and use them. Adware, for the most part; anyways, is more of a legitimate ways that companies track your web history. Spyware is the bad stuff that that hackers and crackers use the most. Adware and spyware, eventually are detrimental to computer performance.

Is that it. Just over 1000. The little kiddies here at college have systems with several thousand and they just look at you with a blank look when you tell them. As if to say "oh really. Is that bad? How do they get on my computer?"

[Ill Dottore]

I use both and keeps my PC neat.. it's a "important" program to use when you surf a lot in the Internet

Cheers!

on the bright side at least those are not viruses and will not delete all ur files.

[FerrariKiller]

Last time i went home from school my parents had 3000 ish when I ran adaware. And yes, I got look fishfreek gets.

realy impresive !! U propably hadnt cleand ur PC since U switched from win98 ;)

I use Spybot Search&Destroy - i've tryed Adware but IMO S&D works better (found more stuff than Ad, and seems to me more "user friendly" ;) ) and its free :D

Yeah, I use spybot too, I can recommend it. And its free too :D

[DeMoN]

You think you are free of spyware?

Well I bet you are not!

I use Adware to scan and Spybod and Spysweeper are runing all the time blocking spyware from entering my computer

YES 3 fukin progs just to stop spyware!

[hemi_fan]

I have adaware and S & D... I know for a fact that theres still spyware. These programs simply keep it to a level where the computer is still useable. There probably tons of adware/spyware left on my comp still. Im just impressed because my comp was barely able to function before, and now its runnin like a champ after one round of adaware.

[ARMAN]

Holy crap! :shock: Thats quite a collection
S&D havent found anything for 3 months :shock: Maybe cause SpywareBlaster and Adaware doing theyr job good, or I have to reinstall S&D :mrgreen:

[Blip]

The tea timer that comes with new SPYbot is really good.

I also recommend using the "Adblock" extension for Firefox.

[abbor]

I use none of them, and I manage to keep my pc free of it..
Norton Internet Security stops alot though..

[DeMoN]

no way you can have that manny if you have spybot!

Get the latest version of SpyBot and have it install TEATIMER

TEATIMER installed will make spybot run on your taskbar and prevent most of the spyware to get to your comp.

[Schwalbe]

OMG :shock: 1058 New Critical Objects ! The need for installed AdAware was largely justified.

TEATIMER installed will make spybot run on your taskbar and prevent most of the spyware to get to your comp.

and definetly STOP using InternetExplorer for browsing the web - its most popular browser so its easiest to get through for all that crap.

When im under Window$ I use only free software - Mozilla Firefox for browsing, Spybot S&D for removing (if anything gets through ;) ) spyware, and Avast antyvirus for viruses :D - and I have to mention that I dont have niether SP1 nor SP2 instaled :D - and everyting works perfect

[bmwmpower]

i use spykiller, very good program,

[jamberl]

Apart from p2p programs like Kazaa, etc, where do these adware and spyware programs come from?

[neilo63]

porn sites, emails, and sometimes if your dumb enough to click "install this to view this webpage"

Hahaha, I cant believe anyone would click 'yes' on those install prompts. Does that actually happen?? LMAO :lol: :lol:

[AlexBlaster]

HOLY SHIT! That has to be the dirtiest computer I've seen yet! :wink:

Lavasoft Adware is a great program, just remember to dl the updates before you scan. I'm almost sure they release an update everyday.

[jamberl]

hey i jsut d/led ad aware i have like 1042 files in quarantine, what happens if i delete them does it affect any other programs?

Sometimes if you delete certain adware associated with p2p programs like kazaa, they will stop functioning. I imagine you can get rid of the rest with no ill effects.

[neilo63]

um holy fuck, is that your computer?

[findleybeast]

oh dear god... do you have anything on that computer other than adware?
