Protect your computer from spyware, adware, trojans. history etc.

I use these products to help find and delete the "bad stuff", That i never wanted or asked for.

Evidence Eliminator - not free (very good)
This will NOT look for trojan horses but it will delete them if there in places that the software wipes clean eg free harddrive space etc.. It does alot of great things to much to meantion here. do a google for more info about it.

counterspy - not free

counterspy WILL locate some spyware and trojan horses, and with it can also block them for getting on the computer in the first place, or remove them if it/they do get on, and it will alert you about this. bepending on the software settings you have set up.

windows washer www.webroot.com - trial available

window washer will delete and shred history, cache, cookie, visited sites windows files. that trace you. and if theres child porn in you cache that you did not no about it will distroy them. up-to 100 shreds per file so no one can recover the files!

spy sweeper www.webroot.com - trial available

spyware sweeper will also scan your computer for spyware adware and more important Trojan Horses, and remove them. it also has "active protection" like counterspy which will try to stop trojans and spyware getting on your computer.

Ad-Adware SE - FREE

this product is free very good and used by millions of people worldwide, but most of the software on this list is :) but this ones free. however no "active protection is avaiable for this free software.

xoftspy - not free

xoftspy is by far the fastest software of its kind that ive used, it has regular updates available for it
normally 1 every 2-3 days. I use this and spyware sweeper the most.

spybot search and distroy - FREE

Just great, its not the fastest, but it will help to protect you from, trojans, keyloggers, adware, spyware.

CWShredder - FREE

not updated very often but good none the less, this software is free and will scan your harddrive for all the CWS types of trojan horses.

TKCleaner - FREE

i have only just found this one and so far i'd say dont bother with it. Its mean't to look for trojans but only seems to look for 1 trojan that normally located in one place. looks very old and the site who own it are no more! so theres no updates for it EVER!

you should download the free ones and buy at least one of the good ones and UPDATE IT AND USE IT. As your anti-virus will NOT keep all trojans of your computer not even norton or mcAfee's antiviruses.

Hope this helps some of you, and not end up like i did. Since then i have learn't alot about online protection. If i'd only known more about this topic back then :(
