Getting rid of spyware

I really hate spyware, so I've tried about 10 or more different programs, most being the popular ones. If you use SpywareBlaster, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper and Spyware Doctor, then Hitman Pro is probably better for you.

Instead of opening up each of those to scan for spyware, you could open up Hitman and let it use those programs to scan for you! It will install/update them for you, too.

Go to www.hitmanpro.nl - it is in another language, but I am sure all of you can find the download link.

Make sure before you "start" the scanning, that you select the "configuration" button and set everything up first.

If you have any questions or need help, the Hitman forum is here: http://www.nucia.nl/forum/foru mdisplay.php?f=51 and the entire forum: http://www.nucia.nl/forum/ - which does have an English section.

Good luck!

For those of you who are willing to pay, Spy Sweeper is my #1 choice, along with Spyware Doctor and ewido anti-spyware following. They are not that expensive and let me tell you, well worth the money! I purchased Spy Sweeper because I found out I had something on my computer that nothing else would remove and it found it and removed it!
