Spyware/adware killer

[Roses Ablaze]

Anyone know of a good one? (yes, I am using Firefox)

 

[Archaic]

Spybot, Search & Destroy.

And it's free too.

 

[Argy]

AdAware, as well.

I've used Spybot Search & Destroy. It's very good.

There is no Spyware/Malware for Linux.

But yeah, Lavasoft's AdAware and Spybot: Search & Destroy are two very good spyware killing programs. Especially when couped with a good Virus hunter.

I use Spybot S&D (www.safer-networking.de) along with Microsoft AntiSpyware (www.microsoft.com), which was part of the same codebase as the highly-ranked CounterSpy software. I don't really like the Microsoft solution, seeing as how it doesn't detect such things as Claria (better known as Gator), but when used with Spybot, almost all things should be covered.

I avoid Ad-Aware SE for the same reason. I only use it on non-Win2k/XP computers.

Of course, as a Linux user, I need not worry about malware.
