HI, If your Antivirus doent pick up SpyBot then its time to upgrade, http://www.symantec.com/nav/nav_9xnt/features.html With Norton Anti-virus 2004: "NEW! Expanded threat detection alerts you to certain non-virus threats such as spyware and keystroke logging programs." this is the only one product i can finds which acts like a 2 in 1 (Antivirus and Spyware Remover) SpyBot is a Syn bot (DOS Bot) which skript kiddies use to syn flood people with, the only way this came it is througth you executing it. the others may of came in on something like a free CD from a mag etc... regards Lloyd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Enquiries" <Enquiries () globalart4u com> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 4:29 PM Subject: software - keyloggers etc
Dear All I know that people here are always asking which is the best software for removing spyware/trojans/keyloggers/adware etc. I have downloaded spybot, ad aware, swatit and update these regularly ie once a week I check for updates plus have an anti-virus and zonealarm firewall. Well to my surprise after reading an article about the above decided on a hunch to try out "spy sweeper" and it found the following in
my
windows 98: cdilla spyworks winwhatwhere (or is it winwherewhat?) On the pc. So my question is, is there any one product which will find these things above or do I need to keep down loading lots and lots of different types
of
software programmes to find different things? Why did a software
programme
like spybot or swatit not find the above three? Thank you in advance. Kind regards Tallat --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
