I recently found out that I have spyware on my computer. For some reason Norton Anti-Spyware, Spy Sweeper, or Ad-Aware SE Personal are able to locate it. I remember a while back that RadarMan (I think) gave me a link to a program called Ewido. I'm not sure if that is how you spell it. If you know where I can download the trial that would be great.

Thanks,

I think you mean this Arrow

But before a couple of months i run it and it gave me something like an update to download.After download and install it i had a Evil or Very Mad program running on background that was hard to get rid of it. Exclamation

I can be more specific since i dont remember what exactly was... Embarassed

Anyway i suggest you Spybot...Its an excellent safe spyware remover.Install it,update it and run it. Wink

No. sorry it wasn't me. I use Ad-Aware and Spy-bot. Before running them dump your cookies cache and history.

This is an excellent site for cleaning, it's updated every 2nd Tuesday of the month.
