Spyware and Parasites are very serious
issue, more than people think. and contrary to the lying
advertising, no one software will handle all of these
items. I guarantee you
that if you try run some trusty anti-spyware
tool you will find something wrong already sitting on your
computer.
Firstly too many
persons are not aware of the items that slow down their computer
performances even, and their are great freeware even software available
to meet these problems including
-Memory
management
-Registry conflicts, errors
-spyware
- Trojans,
- Virus
-Intrusions
Note: Many
persons use a cocktail of freeware software to handle these items
such Spybot, Hijack This, Ad Adaware, spywarebalster, xcleaner... others
for the typical email-virus payloads. I rarely have found that one
program alone suffices.
a-squared
(a-squared) is a complementary product to
antivirus software and desktop firewalls on MS Windows computers.
Antivirus software specializes in detecting classic viruses. Many
available products have weaknesses in detecting other malicious software
(Malware) like Trojans, Dialers, Worms and Spyware (Adware). a-squared
fills the gap that malware writers exploit. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

MaxMem - optimize your PC memory Alternative

you ever noticed how your computer always seems to run better after

shows you exactly how much memory you have available, plus graphs how

should fully read the included Ad-aware documentation before removing
any files!
SpywareBlaster -
disable spyware ActiveX controls
SpywareBlaster doesn`t scan and
clean for so-called spyware, but prevents it from being installed in the
first place. It achieves this by disabling the CLSIDs of popular spyware
ActiveX controls, and also prevents the installation of any of them via
a webpage. This allows you to run Internet Explorer with Active-X
enabled, but it will never download or even prompt you for any of the
known ActiveX controls. All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will
work fine. The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these
known spyware Active-X controls and can be updated with the click of a
button. The application windows displays a list of all controls that it
is able to detect (this is not a list of what was found on your
computer). The program cannot detect if you have any of the known
objects already installed, but if you do, they will be disabled. The
program also allows you to take a snapshot of your computer (certain
settings) in its clean state and later revert many changes made by
spyware and browser
hijackers.

outlook-style interface that is easy to use and multi-lingual.
SpyBot-S&D allows you to exclude selected cookies, programs or
extensions from being reported, allowing you to prevent false positive
messages for items that you dont want to be alerted of every time. It
can even scan your download directory for files that have been
downloaded, but not yet installed, allowing you to detect unwanted
programs before you even install them. SpyBot produces a detailed and
easy to understand report before it deletes any files and allows you to
deselect any item that you do not want to be processed. In addition, a
recovery feature allows you to restore your settings if needed. Very
