best way to stop it on xp...
THERE ISN'T ONE
however using a web browser like firefox does help a lot
once the programes are removed
to remove the programes
you could try spybot but beware that contains spyware so you will need a nother thing to get rid of spybots like avg use them both together and you will get most NOT ALL but most of it gone
also try firewalls microsoft SP2 is resanobal
*sorry about spelling*
This is complete nonsense.
- Spybot does not contain spyware
- Even if it did, AVG would not be able to get rid of it - AVG is an antivirus, not an antispyware
- Firewalls will not protect you from most spyware (they're still essential, but nothing to do with the original poster's problem)
- It's perfectly possible to avoid spyware on Windows XP - I spend several hours per day online, and have never had a single piece of spyware on my computer.
As other people have said, there are several good anti-spyware tools. I find that
Microsoft Antispyware is the best, but
Spybot and
AdAware are also good.
For best results, you should install the antispyware program, then restart your computer in Safe Mode to scan it.
