Freeware can help you

How would you get rid of the spyware and have your computer back up to par?
This is a waste of my ONE-THOUSANDTH post but
1. Download Adaware V 6, latest version from lavasoft.com. Update it after installing
2. Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy (use the tame (default) version unless you are quite adept)
3. Uninstall Kazaa (or Kazaa media desktop or whatever the hell they call it now)
4. Download and install kazaalite from
www.kazaalite.com - stick with the old V 1.7.2 ( though all versions of kazaalite have been reverse enginnered to remove the spyware from the actual kazaa program).
5. Refuse to "update" kazaalite which it wil prompt you to do EVERY SINGLE TIME you start it.
6. Don't install stuff unless you search the web ( there are quite a few sites that will report what freeware has spyware).
7. Run Adaware and Spybot weekly and use the update functions in both to keep signature files current. Use a free firewall like Zonealarm, and a good , paid-for Anti Virus , specifically Norton .
