Title: I need some information
Post by: gail on March 16, 2006, 11:15:00 AM

I've got an Avast antivir Pro at my home. I'm very agreed with this product, but I don't know this antivir is searching for spywares and mailwares and jokes?

If not, what kind of spyware finder have i use with avast????

There are a few programs that give additional protection against spyware.
Lavasoft ad-aware,  Spybot S&D  and Spywareblaster.

Welcome to the forums, gail.    :)

Take a look at my signature below and you will see, as Fast mentions, both Ad-Aware and Spybot-S&D. And also as Fast mentions, many on this forum also use Spywareblaster with success. I also use Ewido as do many others. By the way, it is a good idea to run these "anti-malware" programs at least once a week.

If you are using 2000 or XP, you might also want to check out Ewido.
If you are using W95, 98, or ME you might want to check out a-squared.

Please come back often, learn more, and maybe help others.    :)
