ok, according to a very thorough danish anti-spyware site (www.spywarefri.dk , but you will probably not understand it - it's in danish),this is the best free anti - spyware/trojan/hijacker combo:


ad-aware; a free spyware removal program that works very well and is easy to use -just remember to update it at least once/week, and you should be able to get rid of most spyware/adware/trojans/tracking cookies.


this could be used in combo with spybot (mentioned and linked above) to make sure you get everything out.


spywareblaster: a free sort of 'spyware-firewall', it's a small program that runs in the background and prevents you from getting spyware, etc in the first place. you just have to remember to update it, and you're pretty safe. a great feature of this program: you can take a 'snapshot' of your system, so if you one day get nasty spyware into your computer, you can recreate your system as it was when you took the snapshot.


these two should work well as basic protection.


if you've got hijacking problems that won't go away with the use of your usual spyware protection, you can use hijackthis. however, this tool is ratherdifficoult to use, and you might need some help if you're not totally sure of what files you can remove and which ones you can't - it can be fatal for your system removing the wrong files.it does sound like something like this is needed for krystian.Edited by: cillecille
