Does anybody know of a decent free anti spyware prog that sounds alerts?
Using Spybot & Adaware.

Thanks

Steve
 
Arovaxshield is good ..... http://www.arovaxshield.com/ .... as
well as (or better yet , inaddition to ) Spyware Blaster .....

LavaSoft Adaware is very good , the free version is a on-demand
scanner...
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Ewido is also good, but the free version is a on-demand scanner..
(you get the pro version for 14 days , then it goes to the free version
) http://www.ewido.net/en/

Downloaded spywareblast, looks okay but no mention of alerts.

==== Spyware Blaster stops (most) spyware from ever being installed , I
don't think it warns you because it only stops spyware , it doesn't
give you a choice ..... it mostly stops "drive - by - installs" , that
is stuff that might install in the background without you knowing it
........... of course if you purposely install something you are on your
own... so you should have several different anti-spyware programs to
catch and remove junk...
if you have a newer fast computer you could get "Windows Defender"
from Microsoft it's free and good but uses quite a bit of computer
power to run... plus it doesn't remove microsoft's spyware ........
that's why many people don't care for it...
whatever you get you must still update the signuture files once and a
while (like every Sun. or whatever day is good for you)
