spyware

Post by R3N3G4D3 »

I know how much you guys love getting stuff like Bargain Buddy and 180Search getting installed on your computer for no good reason and the thrill of hunting them down with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D later on after your computer becomes slower than 166MHz Pentium that you left in the attic a few years back. That's why I decided to share this blog I found with you about top 5 worst sites to download from: http://blog.siteadvisor.com/2006/01/the ... rs_in.html

good call man! Add another: http://www.themexp.org, used to be good but now installs crapware. If I have to install stuff from questionable sites, I activate Ad-Watch and the Spybot background agent...they work.

since I use kaspersky antivirus, I'm spyware and virus free (I check once a week with the following spyware killers: ad-aware, spybot S&D, noadware, spysubtract, xoftspy and they find nothing :) )
