One of my favorite free spyware detectors would be Malwarebytes, which is an anti-malware scanner. I also use the free Ad-aware sometimes, or the Spybot Search and Destroy. One thing I've found with using those two...whatever Ad-aware doesn't find, Spybot does. And the Malwarebytes is great, I run that once a week as a routine, and anything I download goes through there first before opening. I've really been happy using these, it keeps my computer humming good and keeps the junk out.

Cool So running those two together would be better than just one of theM? I will give it a try

Actually, I run all three of them, just not at the same time. I run one, let it do it's thing, then load the next, etc. They're all good, but they each seem to pick up different things and get rid of them. I find I get a whole lot of adware because I'm on the internet so much. I know lots of people only run one, or two of them, but I find with routine scanning weekly with all three, my computer is fast, and not clogged up with adware to slow it down. I also have a program (free) installed called EasyCleaner. Once I'm done running the other programs, I pull up EasyCleaner and get rid of all those temp files, and unnecessary things, like cookies, etc. I designated Sunday as my 'clean-up' day, and I haven't had a virus or malware problem in all the years since I've been doing it this way. (Before that it was constant problems!) Good luck 127!

I agree with JoyfulOne.
His choices are good and I have tried all 3 of these softwares myself.

My favourite is Malwarebytes'.It is the best.It has found spyware and malware nothing else has.I have been using it for a long time now.Last week I bought a new netbook and I have installed it on my netbook too.:)

another Malwarebyte user here. It's a really good software. I'm using it together with F-Secure.

well there are quite a few good spyware detectors over the internet but i think spy doctor is the best of the lot. i have used it for a year and i found it very good. yes the only thing is that i found it a bit heavy on my system and so then i changed to using ESSET NOD 32 and then i also i neer faced spyware problems.


myLot reputation of 87/100. 127dayx (486)   ranked 216 out of 3,437 in computers  5 months ago

great thankx! will try that also! I have been trying out heaps of spyware programs haha maybe NOD32 will be my last! perhaps:)

hey hi, i think the best spy ware detector rite now is the avg fee edition, it will keep a regular check of any virus that your computer will have and will delete it directly. i have this detector since i newely bought my computer and it is working really well, i have never installed by windows again because of virus since then.

Well, before downloading any software try searching your computer with Windows defender which is include in windows vista/7. If it doesnt work, try malwarebytes. its my favorite program. If still doesnt works, You should use any anti-virus software like norton, Eset, AVG etc. This should do the trick
