Should I register to Antispyware or to Adwarealert or neither?


I dont know if it is safe enough to register because I dont know anything about this stuff. Can you give any support with your opinion?

The program that you are referring to as "Antispyware" could be anything... is that *really* what it calls itself? That's sort of like buying a box of "Food."

But AdwareAlert is scareware from the same family that makes Xoftspy. It scans for free, finds about a gazillion malware on your computer, and then you have to buy it to remove what it finds. However, 99.9% of what it found were harmless cookies or blatant false-positives. Meaning there was nothing harmful there to begin with.

So stay away from AdwareAlert, Xoftspy, SpyNoMore, and any of those that scan for free and claim to find a ridiculous amount of malware and which you then have to buy to remove.

* If you need a free an antispy, the first best one to try is Superantispyware.

Are those antispyware programs?? If they are, you shouldn't download them. Try A-Squared Free for antispyware:

I love my spy sweeper, got it from best buy.

It sounds like you have a problem with downloading crapware onto your computer. I would suggest that you not register with anyone and that you get rid of those programs immediately and invest in a proper security suite from a reliable vendor (like McAfee).

It is people downloading rogue antispyware programs or using inadequate security that form most of the questions on this forum...

Good Luck

try this its great! I have it

This site is virtually the 'Bible' for info on rogue/suspect anti-spyware programs:

This is their (much smaller) list of trustworthy anti-spyware programs:

add CounterSpy to list:

Short answer: I wouldn't touch any of those you mention.
