good advice, yes. However, you can
still use speech with mallwarebytes, just know that when you enter
the window of the scan while it's running, your speech is considerably
slower. Never have used the other program. Spybot s&d works
well too, although their interface used to be a bit easier to use.
Is hijack this still around? Anyone use it? I remember using it
once for cleaning up a virus and liking it, but can't remember why
I uninstalled it.

difference between the two is that it will sit in your system tray

update it's database when new deffinitions are available. Also,
You have
protection on it. There are some options that you will need to
enable for
that. But, that is only for the paid version. i use it with Window
eyes and
it works well. However, I may bring to your attention that, if you
do a full
scan of your machine, disable speech before beginning the scan.
Window eyes
maybe quiet, but, it is still running in the background. The less
stuff you
have running, the quicker it scans. Do both a quick scan, and a
full scan.
Do not scan external hard drives. Just your main drive. I also
would
recommend error expert from,
http://www.errorexpert.com
This will clean up any errors that it finds on your system. There
is a free
version but, that version does not repair errors. It will find
them, but,
not fix them. The registered version will. Also with error expert,
you might
need to use the mouse cursor to find the scan now graphic. There
are other
tools to use in this program so that you can speed up your
computer.

Subject: good spyware programs
Hey guys,
I really need to scan this computer for spyware. Any good
programs that
work well with window-eyes?
This computer is having way too many slowdowns and becoming
quite
unreliable, unexplainable stopping of speech of window-eyes,
stuff that is
quite frankly unacceptable.
Any suggestions?
