RyanJ Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 what is the best spyware remover out that is compatible with 98? Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware and SpyWare Blaster are all great and work in Win 98 Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJ Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 thanks! Your welcome. There are others but those three have kept me safe now for a long time, I also use Firefox so I feel even safer! And with the new version of Zone Alarm Pro it has one built in which is also pretty effective Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 had the links handy, so here you are: Spybot S&D (make sure to select the option to turn teatimer on) Ad-Aware SE Spywareblaster and i'd add Spyware Guard aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I use spyware doctor on mine win 98 se. it`s only the scan part I`ve not registered it yet, but it lets me know where these files are and what they`re called. Most of mine (79 files!) were in C:windows/cookies just tag the lot (appart from Index) and delete the suckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Come to think of it WinPatrol is another program worth having! Cheers, Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Main tips: get two (cos, unlike anti-viruses, anti-slyware programs are no where near 100% effective), and make sure theyre not one of the bogus ones that install loads of crap on your computer, finds it, and then offers to remove it if you pay for the full version. http://www.spywarewarrior.com/ <--list of good/bad anti-slyware apps. YT: tracking cookies arent too bad, but if they bug you, spywareblaster will add loads of tracking cookies to internet explorer's/firefox's 'block' list, so they shouldnt get put back on your computer.
