Prevention 1

[erikhertzel]

Guys,

What is the best free spyware/adware software to use to prevent reinfection? I try the immunization that comes with Spybot, but it seems that people still get reinfected.

Any ideas? I know part of the problem is that some people need to adjust their surfing habits...that would help.

Thanks.

Most spy/ad-ware programs deal with the infection afterwards. Two of the best programs that take an active prevention have been purchased by other companies: Pest-Patrol by Computer Associates (CA) and Giant by Microsoft. IMHO, it remains to be seen what happens to these fine products.
