Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware and SpyWare Blaster are all great and work in Win 98

thanks!

 

Your welcome. There are others but those three have kept me safe now for a long time, I also use Firefox so I feel even safer!

 

And with the new version of Zone Alarm Pro it has one built in which is also pretty effective

had the links handy, so here you are:

 

Spybot S&D (make sure to select the option to turn teatimer on)

 

Ad-Aware SE

 

Spywareblaster

 

and i'd add Spyware Guard aswell.

I use spyware doctor on mine win 98 se.

it`s only the scan part I`ve not registered it yet, but it lets me know where these files are and what they`re called.

Most of mine (79 files!) were in C:windows/cookies

just tag the lot (appart from Index) and delete the suckers

[RyanJ]

Come to think of it WinPatrol is another program worth having!

 

Cheers,

Main tips: get two (cos, unlike anti-viruses, anti-slyware programs are no where near 100% effective), and make sure theyre not one of the bogus ones that install loads of crap on your computer, finds it, and then offers to remove it if you pay for the full version.

YT: tracking cookies arent too bad, but if they bug you, spywareblaster will add loads of tracking cookies to internet explorer's/firefox's 'block' list, so they shouldnt get put back on your computer.
