Question

Were can I find a spy-ware application for my computer for free?

Answer 1

The two most successful ones are Spybot and Adaware. Both have top ratings and work the best

Answer 2

I think you want an anti-spyware program?  If so:

Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

There are three excellent free ones:

--Spybot, Search and Destroy

--Ad-Aware

--Spyware Blaster

All are available FREE from www.download.com

You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!

HTH!

Answer 3

Spybot Search & Destroy - free here

update and immunize; run a scan.

Also, spywareblaster is worth installing - works well with Spybot

update regularly and enable protection; spywareblaster works in the background so there is no need to "run" it.

Answer 4

For any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run a full scan.

Hope that helps.
