Great article and easy to understand, even for the newbies. Some of the free products I like, in addition to the ones mentioned are:

1) Yahoo! Anti-Spy on the Yahoo toolbar will remove spyware;

2) A (squared) 2 (free version) at www.emsisoft.com/en/ will find worms/malware; and

3) Mozilla Firefox which will reduce the user's exposure to spyware.

Glad you enjoyed it Searmor2 I'm planning on following the article up with some information on Firefox, which has quite alot of security features built in

[searmor2]

Let me know what you think of the other two free products I mentioned. I think that they would be two great additions to your article. Neither one of them gets much press but they are very good.

Great read Ian.

I agree with searmor ... A2 2 (A-Squared) is well worth a mention.

a² provides protection against Trojans, Dialers and Spyware. a² fills the gaps that malware writers exploit.

Www.microsoft.com or search "microsoft anti spyware" in google because that is a good free version.

I have found the following programs starts when my computer does. RUNDLL32.EXE NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize
i think it may be a virus or the link but i am not sure. does anyone know, or even know how i can find out. i have run various anti-spyware programs on it but none have picked it up. If it is nasty i could do with some advice on how to remove it.
cheers

well my first question is, do you have Daemon tools ?? Its a dvd rip program. My next advise is to always google your errors. You'll be amazed with what you pull up.

Lots of advice on how to cope , identify and eliminate the malware problems but can anyone say if there is a mechanism to go after and prosecute ( ..or persecute) the perpetrators of this type of crime eg Antivirus Gold ?
