ANTI Spy ware, What to do next

Ok, hopefully you have managed to update your hosts file, that was the first step, in initiating your computer into a stronger private system.

Now we need to keep them out in other aspect's. Using a HOSTS file is good, but some of these spy ware programs are quite capable of completely deleting all the contents out of a HOSTS file, rendering it useless !

There are a few good products out on the market today. I highly encourage you to consider purchasing these products.  I have been using them for a number of years now and  highly recommend them





1/. Zone Alarm Security Suite.  This is a personal favorite of mine.  With Low memory usage, it wont slow your computer down like others do, and the complete suite covers everything from virus/spy ware protection, an incredible firewall unlike no other, and impressive privacy settings.

Purchase this product here: Zone Alarm Security Suite

* Santa Fe online's personal choice





2/.  Ewido AVG Anti Spy ware.   Another Program, but one of the strongest i have
found on the net yet ! This program has discovered and deleted more spyware, than Microsoft's anti spyware program has ever discovered. 

  One more very strong point i should include, is that this program is known for its excellent compatibility with other anti virus programs.

 Hand in hand with Zone Alarm listed above, and your virus/spyware protection is fantastic.

3/. Lavasoft  Ad-Aware SE Professional + bonus RegHance

Lavasoft's CSI technology protects you from both known and emerging threat variants and gives you real-time protection for your computer with our advanced Ad-Watch real-time monitor.

Bonus with this purchase, RegHance, Registry maintance program

4/.  Xoft Anti Spyware.  Yet another fantastic Antispyware program. Detections include Adware, Spyware, Trojans, Worms, hijackers, toolbars, Keyloggers and many of the most prevalent and annoying viruses

Purchase this product here:  Xoft AntiSpy









5/. (FREE)  Microsoft's Beta Anti Spy ware program. This is a free download from Microsoft for registered Window's systems.

This program sits in the background similar to any other virus protection program, and monitors what is going on as you use your computer. It will block all known spy ware programs, that it has in it's database and advise you, and ask you if you wish to block, allow them, etc.

It also blocks sabotage of the HOSTS file, which is highly recommended. After the install and first scan, it will clean out your computer, and then you make the settings of how often, what to do at start up etc.





5/. (FREE)  Java Cool Spy ware Blaster   A program designed to also remove and block spy ware, but has other fantastic options that Microsoft does not offer. I again highly recommend downloading this product. IT is a free download. (one of the rare freebies with no added systems).
