spyware

Hi Everyone, I have a Mac desktop machine, and I am not very computer-savvy. I was browsing for news stories, when www dot fixpc99 dot com kind of took over my browser. It would not let me close the windows when I clicked on them. When I force-quit Safari and relaunched, the windows came...

Ever wondered why that is the case?

Ordinarily I don't touch Microsoft computers - they just aren't user friendly. But when my iBook melted its logic board yet again, I found myself working with the family computer. Through a sea of program and document icons on screen I found Internet Explorer. And after a while I noticed the...

Hi I've recently made a professional decision which means that from now on I will depend on my computer to work. That means I need my computer to be 100% clean and protected from internet garbage. I know that everyone says that Macs never get viruses, but let me tell you something gentlemen...

I have had a couple times when due to loading several things at the same time, or maybe doing it too fast, has caused the computer to freeze. The mouse cursor turns into the multicolored spinning ball and basically nothing happens. I am then forced to shut down the computer manually. What would...

Anybody know of a good Apple Mac spyware removal program? Preferably freeware. I don't think I have any problems currently, and I know there's less of a problem with Mac than Windows...but I feel safer knowing I've got scanning software on here. Athon

SEE THIS!

I've just wasted the last three or four hours trying to fix a horrible adware problem, and I'm at my wits end. I'm using IE 6 and I'm so used to it I don't really want to switch, but this latest problem could finally convince me to change browsers. I keep getting pop-ups/browser hijacks...

The kids noticed "boobies" popping up today -- I hadn't been on the computer in a week. I ran Adaware and it found some BHOs and deleted them, but it's back (or nevr went away) after the reboot. I checked Microsoft Security Center (XP) Automatic Updates but it was turned off. Something keeps...

Oh sure, you can get free ones that will SCAN your system....but I've yet to find any that will CLEAN your system for free anymore. Even good ol Spybot has gone this route. Anyone know of any left that will clean for free?

Mrs. Clause has infected our computer with many different nasty pieces of spyware. With Christmas around the bend, Santa is strapped for cash. I need very good spyware program I can get for free, or if someone wants to send me one. Actually anything would be helpful right now. I have used...

I use Spybot. Seems to work pretty well, but wondering what others people have tried and what they thought of them.

Hmm... Just had this appear as a pop-under window while browsing. It didn't look familiar at all, but it sure looked plausible: Just that little word "Advertisement" gave it away. Mousing over the "Next" button (without clicking!) showed a c.casalemedia.com URL. I wonder how many people just...
