Answer
Yes. Spybot Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html Choose a download mirror; download the installer; install the program; update the program, scan your computer with the program. DON'T forget to 'immunize' your computer with the 'immunize' button. Oh, one last thing. When you install Spybot SnD, you may want to disallow installation of TeaTimer because it will nag you to madness about allowing every single little change that every piece of software tries to make to your computer. (However, you may want that feature — you decide). SUPERAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE The downloading for the installer should start immediately when you get to the URL I've given. Download the installer; install the program; run the program and update the program; scan your computer with the program. Ad-Aware 2008 http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?cdlPid=10844457 Download the installer; install the program; run the program and update the program; scan your computer with the program. SpywareBlaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html Choose a download mirror; download the installer; install the program; run the program and update it; scan your computer with the program. I use (and force the use of) ALL the preceding tools on my computer (when I'm running Windows on it) and all my friends' computers. None of my friends computers suffer from malware now. (Oh, sure, they can't use Limewire and Bearshare anymore — I think that one or more of the protective programs I've listed above may be blocking the programs, but I don't know for sure — but I have peace of mind knowing that my friends Windows-based computers are safe.)
