Download, install, UPDATE, and run:
Ad-Aware 6.0
Spybot Search & Destroy
Alternate for Spybot S&D
SpywareGuard
Spyware Blaster
(Make sure to use the update feature of these programs often.)
Download UPDATE and run:
CWShredder
It is important to run ALL of these programs, as each do something different.
Before running these, do the following:
Delete temp internet files and history.
Disable system Restore.
The reason you need to disable system restore is that many of these pests like to
hide within the restore files. These are protected by Windows, therefore the scans
can’t delete the pests.
System restore is very unreliable. It seldom works as intended. It is much better
to use a disk imaging or backup utility such as Norton Ghost or GoBack. These are
much more reliable.
When finished,
Turn system Restore back on if you wish.
