4 edits | Giant anti spyware. After I had Giant awhile and got familiar with it, when it would find something I would open the details on the problem item which it listed as 1 problem item. What I found was that it had actually found 336 separate instances of the one spyware. Was wondering if the spyware had replicated itself to send info to 336 servers?
I used to play Blackjack at Casino.net, famous spyware installer. Adaware used to catch them. I quit playing because every time I open Casino.net, it reinstalled all the crap. See nothing is really free. All the people that play the free version of the Casino games get beautiful games that are fun and free with 336 separate spyware items.
Giant found and removed it all, Adaware, Spybot SD didn't. Casino.net had found a way to install the spyware even with the program uninstalled and without a visit to their site. They had also found a way to hide the spyware from the 2 biggest free spyware removal programs.
Even with Giant I realize I still have spyware on my Comp, just alot less of it. Spyware is like somebody has a flashlight stuck up your ass all the time. I use Opera and AVG, restrict email to text and dump caches and restrict cookies but Giant finds a couple spy's a week. I still open IE6.0 from time to time and that doesn't help. My brother uses Adaware and IE6.0, he scans once a month and usually has about 30 items to remove. Same ones everytime he visits a handful of sites same ones. Spyware comes back in a matter of days. I am behind a router and use ZA. If I just surf my favorite sites I can go 2 weeks clean, but if I really start going to alot of new sites looking for stuff it is not hard to pick up new infections.
