The above statments in which you comment on the features of microsoft anti-spyware holds true, however, the problem that I am having is using the track eraser. Upon requesting that track eraser removes current info that might be contain in the internet explorers history, the program performs the fuction but the contents that it was suppose to erase are still present. Currently I am using win XP pro, along with mcafee security suite which features virus scan, firewall, privacy, and spam. If you can help me with this dilemma I would appreciate it greatly.
thank U.

could you please tell me how i can delete, delete avg please,,, thank you

Thank you for this article. Clarified what and how spyware works.

I have just purchased spysweeper version 5.2 with anti virus....some reviews state that Presently, Webroot includes only the On Demand Sophos virus inspection engine to check for and remove file infections. Missing is the Realtime Sophos virus engine that looks for active infections from e-mail, IM, and other vectors. Webroot says that functionality will come later, but it's a tad misleading to suggest that Spy Sweeper 5.2 with Antivirus is a complete antivirus solution. My question is if I use a free version of avg will that possibly conflict?

I have some qeustions and concearns regarding cell phone spy ware. would the person that installs this on your cell phone physically have phone in his or her possetion for this to be installed.

I have been using windows defender since it came out, it has never found a single problem. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I also like the updated spybot but find the tea timer annoying so I disabled it using msconfig. The newer version of the paid AVG also does a good job with spyware.
