Spotting the Spies!

Postby Fozzer » Wed Sep 12, 2012 4:16 am

Every day, after a session of browsing a few trusted Flight Sim, etc, Web Sites, I fire up my "Spybot Search and Destroy", and it never fails to find loads of Spyware, Adware, Spamware, Menswear, etc, hiding itself deep in my Windows Registry to slow everything down, that my various Anti-Virus Programs don't detect...

One of those really useful programs, that sorts the annoying buggers out each day!...>>>

I also run "Malwarebytes", but strangely enough, "Spybot" never fails to find lots of recognisable little nasties hiding deep inside of my Registry, as listed above, which Malwarebytes rarely seems to spot!

So, a good dose of Spybot at regular intervals, prevents the infection from spreading. Just as the Doctor ordered!
An untreated spy on the bot can be very painful!....trust me.. ;)...!
