The next four programs when used together
remove most if not all the Spyware that has creeped into your system.
Try them you will love them... Spybot will
notice your Ad-aware just tell it to mind
it's business..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ad-aware 6.0 Windows (all)
Scan your system for ad-supported software
components and remove them.
Ad-Aware is designed to provide advanced
protection from known Data-mining, aggressive
advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected
traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser
hijackers, and tracking components. With
the release of Ad-Aware SE Personal edition,
Lavasoft takes the fight against Spyware
to the next level.

Spybot Windows: 98/98se/NT/ME/2000/XP
Search your hard disk for so-called spybots
or adbots, the modules that are responsible
for showing ads and transmitting information
back to vendors. If Spybot Search and Destroy
finds such modules, it will remove them or
replace them with empty dummies. In most
cases, the host software still runs after
removing the bot. Among the adbots Spybot
targets: Aureate, CLPRS, Comet Cursors, eZula
HotText, Gator, GoHip, Radiate, Embracer,
and WildTangent.
Spybot also removes your usage tracks (last
visited Web sites, opened files, started
programs, and cookies), so even spybots that
are unknown can't transmit this private information.
The program supports all three major browsers:
Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator,
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10122137.html
Spyware Blaster Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
Some people are having problems with Spybot
running on Sp2, this one will and it includes
my favorite browser "Firefox" also
found
on this page.
SpywareBlaster doesn`t scan and clean for
so-called spyware, but prevents it from being
installed in the first place. It achieves
this by disabling the CLSIDs of popular spyware
ActiveX controls, and also prevents the installation
of any of them via a webpage. This allows
you to run Internet Explorer with Active-X
enabled, but it will never download or even
prompt you for any of the known ActiveX controls.
All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will
work fine. The SpywareBlaster database contains
information on these known spyware Active-X
controls and can be updated with the click
of a button. The application windows displays
a list of all controls that it is able to
detect (this is not a list of what was found
on your computer). The program cannot detect
if you have any of the known objects already
installed, but if you do, they will be disabled.
The program also allows you to take a snapshot
of your computer (certain settings) in its
clean state and later revert many changes
made by spyware and browser hijackers.

MaxMem Windows: 98/98se/NT/ME/2000/XP
This one is for all of you who have that
big storage place, but a dinky little closet!!
Aka "RAM"!!!!
Have you ever noticed how your computer always
seems to run better after rebooting? Do you
wish it could be that peppy all day? Well,
now it can be with a little help from AnalogX
MaxMem!
AnalogX MaxMem is a realtime physical memory
management program that automatically ensures
that you always have as much physical memory
available as possible. It does this by allowing
you to set minimum amounts of memory to be
made available under certain circumstance,
and then passively monitoring how much system
resources are being used. It runs in the
system tray, and also shows you exactly how
much memory you have available, plus graphs
how you've been using memory over the last
60 seconds!

RAM Medic 1.2 Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP
If you understand the closet, living room
concept and ya want to tweak your RAM this
is the proggy for you. The easy one is the one above, this one requires
a better understanding of your OS
Publisher's Description
Free up memory and increase you computers
performance! What is Ram? RAM Stands for
'Random Access Memory'. The more RAM a computer
has, the more data a computer can manipulate.
RAM Medic allows you to free up memory giving
you more RAM and better performance. Basically:
More RAM (Memory) - Better Performance. When
your computer runs low on memory, your programs
begin to slow down, or at worst crash. RAM
Medic uses a highly intelligent engine to
scan your computer and free up unused memory
and eliminate memory leaks. Having more free
memory will give you better performance and
reduce the risk of a system crash. Whether
you have an older machine with a small amount
of RAM, or a new faster machine with loads
of it, RAM Medic will help your computer
run at its best. Other Features include:
Process Manager allowing you to decide which
process gets priority and the most amount
of system memory; Keyboard shortcuts that
allow you to free anywhere from 10% to 70%
of your RAM.

CACHEMAN 5.50Win9x/WinME/Win2k/WinXP
This program is running on my system as we
speak,it has taken the place of both "Maxmem
and Ram Medic" but requires some pc
savy. If you are a novice use one of the
two above they won't bite you ..
You don't need to purchase expensive computer
memory in order to speed up your PC - download
Cacheman instead! The Cacheman utility is
designed to improve the performance of your
computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory
and a number of other settings. Cacheman
prevents frequent paging to the hard disk
caused by poor memory management, so you
get improved performance, faster system reaction
time and greater stability. Wizards and predefined
profiles make it suitable for novices and
yet it is also powerful and versatile enough
for the more experienced user. Cacheman also
corrects generic problems on systems with
more than 512MB of RAM.

The best on the Web a absolute must !!!
ZoneAlarm is designed to protect your dialup,DSL or cable-connected PC from hackers. This program includes four interlocking
security services: a firewall, an application
control, an Internet lock, and zones. The
firewall controls the door to your computer
and allows only traffic that you understand
and initiate. The application control allows
you to decide which applications can and
cannot use the Internet. The Internet lock
blocks Internet traffic while your computer
is unattended or while you are not using
the Internet, and it can be activated automatically
with your computer's screensaver or after
a set period of inactivity. Zones monitor
all activity on your computer and alert you
when a new application attempts to access
the Internet.
The latest version adds a host-file lock
feature, which prevents host-file tampering,
a method used by online scam artists to send
users to spoofed Web sites.

Xp-Antispy For Windows XP
XP-AntiSpy is a small utility to quickly
disable some built-in update and authentication
features in WindowsXP that may rise security
or privacy concerns in some people. For example, there is a service running
in the background which is called Automatic
Updates... that may sound useful to most
people, but suspicious to others. You can
disable all these features manually by going
through your configuration, find the settings
for each etc. However with XP-AntiSpy there
is no need to do this, since it will show
you all of them at once and let you choose
which ones to disable. Not only will it save
you a lot of time disabling them - it will
also allow you to quickly re-enable them
if you change your mind.

Sure Delete Windows: 98/98se/NT/ME/2000/XP
This Program uses a Wizard to prompt you
, don't panic READ it only sweeps the free
space on your hard drive. After installation
create a short cut for the icon that looks
like a hard drive with a brush on top. This

sorta delete." When you drag a file
to the Recycle Bin, you only move it to a
new location. Even when you empty the bin,
your files are still retrievable by Undelete
utilities. Sure Delete permanently deletes
that data from your drive. Whether you want
to shred sensitive information or free up
resources on your hard drive, this program
ensures that it's done permanently. Rather
than simply deleting file references on your
computer, the program actually destroys the
data itself. Sure Delete offers a wizard-style
interface that guides you through the process
of deleting files, cleaning up your hard
drive in minutes. Sure Delete supports the
FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS disk formats.

DHCP FIX Windows: 98/98se/NT/ME/2000/XP
Windows is a very 'open' system; not open
in the sense of Microsoft giving people access
to proprietary information, but open in the
sense that the system is very trusting of
other systems.
When your computer is at home, not talking
to anyone else, then that's fine; but once
you're on the big bad internet, some people
like to make their computers lie to yours,
and that's just not right...
AnalogX DHCP Fix is just a simple program
that closes a security hole in Windows 95/98/2000
that can make it possible for another computer
to monitor every piece of information that
comes and goes from it.
The program will allow you to enable or disable
the registry entry that closes this particular
hole.
It's very easy to do and will only take you
a couple seconds to once more bring a calming
sense of security to your computer... Until
the next hole is found :).
