Free anti spyware & pop up blocker?

[Davey S2]

Anyone know any decent anti spyware & pop up blockers I can download?

Thanks

If you have Windows XP and SP2 installed a good anti-spyware program that's free is Windows Defender.

Popup Blocker - I use the one integrated into Firefox.

Anti-spyware - I've found Ewido anti-malware pretty effective (available from http://free.grisoft.com) - and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Davey,

Take a look at the stickied thread at the top of this forum - it lists all the various free apps that can be downloaded. Prety sure some will be listed there.

Seconded. It picks up things that Spybot doesn't.

I use a combo of Microsoft Defender, Spybot, WinPatrol and Registry Mechanic. Probably overkill but nothing gets past that lot.. (edited to add they're all free except Registry Mechanic, which is stil cheap)

Adaware
Spybot Search & Destroy
eWido
MS Defender

All of the above linked with a good firewall and AVG should see you free and clear of problems permanently pretty much.

What Plotloss said ^.

Plus Hijack This if you know what you're doing.
