Tomo sent me a list of his top 5 ways to keep your computer free of Spyware. At the same time, I was lucky enough to receive a savings to pass along to all of you for SuperAntiSpyware!

This is “tomo30″ from your chat room. I wanted to take you up on the top 5 list. This will help people with the best ways to fight spyware.

  • Go on the offensive. Fight spyware before it even arrives on your computer. Make sure you have a good ‘anti-virus software’ program running on your PC. Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) now offer anti-virus programs or even purchasing a commercial product is to your advantage. Get a program or product that is regularly updated to fend off the latest viruses, adware, worms, trojans and spyware. One excellent program is SuperAntiSpyware, which you can save $10.00 on by clicking the link for that to purchase.
  • Put up a Firewall. A Firewall should be one of your first lines of defense against spyware. A Firewall is simply a system or gateway designed to prevent unauthorized access to your computer or network. Check out ZoneAlarm or Comodo, they provide a free Firewall for individual users. Download their program and place it on your PC.
  • Don’t open Emails and Attachments from people you don’t know. Use common sense, DON’T open any emails from people you don’t know. Especially, do not open any Attachments until they are scanned for spyware and viruses. Many mail servers will do these scans for free.
  • Keep Your Operating System Up to Date. Be aware of what’s on your system: do regular spyware and adware scans to see exactly what’s on your computer. Know your machine! You may be horrified to learn someone may be monitoring your every ‘keystroke’ and every ‘image’ you’ve viewed on your computer. So scan regularly and also make sure you download the newest updates from your Operating System; these often contain patches or fixes for serious breaches of security on your PC.
  • Back-up Your System. If all the above steps fail, nothing is foolproof, any computer that uses the Internet can be hacked, so you need to back-up your important data. You can use floppy disks, CDs or use a second computer that’s not connected to the net just for storage or back-up of you sensitive data/programs. An inexpensive notebook computer can be used to make daily/weekly back-ups of your vital data and programs.

Be safe, be smart. Make sure to check out the great savings on SuperAntiSpyware!

Original post:Anti-SpywareTag: Spyware anti virus

The tips are really useful, it may be also added that besides a firewall and an anti-virus it’s preferable to install a specialized anti-spyware tool, though it’s not that easy to find an effective one. I managed to find a good anti-keylogger, for example, it’s PrivacyKeyboard, I run it as real time protection, sometimes scan my system with Ad-aware. I beleive that such a program shouldn’t be signature based, my PrivacyKeyboard uses heuristic mechanisms, then together with an anti-virus and a firewall you’ll obtain a pretty reliable protection.

Why is it everyone says, ” Don’t open Emails and Attachments from people you don’t know. ” ???? This tells me the person “suggesting” this doesn’t know how these programs work. Your friend gets a Trojan… it’s programed to attach itself from their address book entries and send it out. Your suggestion TELLS me it’s OK to open Bette’s email with the attachment …..????? Just because YOU told me it’s safe to open my friends attachments…. I now have the Zlob Trojan…

Thx tomo30 for your EXPERT advice ………… LMAO

If I am using antivirus program, do I still need to obtain an anti-spyware? Or antivirus program protects my computer from a spyware?

hey chris my chat name is joelg88. I agree with tomo30. I think that everyone should virus protection on there computers because viruses can easily get in. I think that the first thing should be to all ways have your firewall on. Turning it off is like opening the door and letting harmful things in. One example is that the other day i was at my friends house and when i turned on his laptop it took forever just to get to the welcome screen (windows xp by the way). I asked why it took so long and he said he had a virus. So i opened the security center and i found out that the firewall had been off. Thats why people should always have there firewall on. Well thats it for now see ya in the chat chris.

Good advice, especially the Backup part. I know of very few users that actually back up their puter.

I believe it’s necessary to install some anti-spyware in addition to an anti-virus, though even if you obtain a reliable anti-spyware, keep your anti-virus always updated, configure a firewall properly, still no one can guarantee you a 100% safety,this will only minimize a risk.

Hi Chris,
Will a good anti-virus program mean that I do not need antispyware software. I am confused because if I am already paying more than $60 for a software, why should I spend another 35 on antispyware. Or if I can spend $35 and save 60, then why should I buy an antivirus, just be content with the antispyware.
Are there any complete suites which I can buy so that I am protected against spam, trojan, virus, adware, malware, spyware, keyloggers and all the other garbage?

Anti-Spyware is very important even if you are running Anti-Virus…Unless its an all in one package, and then I guess you are covered.

I really need a good anti-virus program. My current program is not very good.

Well, I personally think that Norton 360 is the best anti-virus because it tells me if my computer is slower than usual, but it keeps on annoying me with tracking cookies.

I agree, i also never had a problem with spyware or adware.

AVG in my opinion is a pretty good program, and ran stable when I was using it.

I use Spybot and ad-aware SE.
And as far Anti-virus I use AVG and Avast.

uhhhm to the comment below me your not soposed to have two anti-viruses they will conflict with eachother and they will think that there both viruses and it’s just not safe but for anti-spyware you can have as many as you need don’t ask why thats just how it is

-shaun-

norton internet security realy good help me alot
and can you make a video about spyhunter

I use linux so its impossible for me to get a virus, spywear dosent stand a chance in a linux environment, its like being souurned by people that have high powered shotguns. Plus it cant be installed on linux anyways unless you are really stuiped. On top of that there is no know virsus to linux

Your comment makes me laugh. Not just because it’s borderline illegible, but also because it’s nonsense. No KNOWN malware for Linux doesn’t mean it won’t happen. When more people start using Linux, malware writers will target it, and holes will be discovered. You can’t hide under your “security through obscurity” umbrella forever.

you make me laugh because it takes 2 fucking passwords to install something on my linux computer. My password and my admin password ,windows installs stuff automatically thats why its so fucked up.

SuperAntiSpyware is excellnt that has been my protection for 7 months

I need help! Im now currently a victim of spy-ware and damn its bad! My Avg hasnt helped much and this….Thing knows most of my passwords! Example they logged onto my msn account and asked some rather sick questions like a pheado so i need help! can anyone suggest a SAFE! Option!?

first of all,whant antispyware do you use,and antivirus?

thats not true,there are many viruses and wormbots that can pass passwords,and is more dangerous if theres a hacker on the control,he can use other type of virus that is not in the wild and that is very dificult to detect,those virus are pretty much like MSSQL.WORM.HELKERN,it´s allmost impossible for antivirus to detect these kind of virus because they only run on the Ram,and dont register themeself´s in the system.

i suggest u use Kaspersky internet security 7.0..,got any updates on antispywares, anti virus or any good softwares? plz email me tnx

download a 30-day trial of nod32 off there web site it should get most of it. if not download 30day trial of kaspersky good luck!

I wonder how many people try to hack chris.

I downloaded smitfraud and i followed the instruction, and spyware was gone.

I think anti spyware is spyware that earns money by removing it for you

how do u get rid of spyware

i vote for you how ? HELP youv got to be able to git rid of it on your own?

I think Chris is only advertising the software, for his own pocket.. you think about that!!

you’re retarded. running that many anti-spyware/virus programs just fuck you up more

is this program any good?

sas is the best and is very quiet

spyware doctor is the best

omg it really works i got this virus virtumonde and it keeps loading new window everytime i click on a link but after i run superantispyware my computer wont load any random ads anymore
