adware/spyware programs

[dreef]

It doesn't matter what antivirus you run,or what spyware prog,you use.Nothing will protect you from some of the malware that's out there.One of the best free antivirus programs out there is avast.In years gone by the biggest threats where trojans and or viruses,but that has changed to spyware.Tho some will think,what does he know ? I do this everyday,computer sales and service,it's a never ending job,but it pays the bills.

Avast kicks the crap out of antivirus software you have to pay good money for.But most antivirus programs won't grab some of the nasty spyware,that's out there.Try malwarebytes..amazing free scanner,and i guarantee it will find multiple nastys.
