hi, my housemate has picked up alot of spyware, and has no protection
software other than norton anti-virus.
can anyone suggest how we go about it and also once we remove anything will
a system restore work or can we do a system restore and it will al be ok.
I am a mac user so I really have no idea how to solve these problems
(although i do own xp for mac) and he is a technophobe. Please help
These are FREE:
Spybot removes spyware. It also has a resident utility called
Tea-Timer that catches spyware on the fly.
Adaware by Lavasoft removes spyware.
Not free, but excellent:
Webroot Spysweeper. (As an AT&T subscriber it is a free download.)
