PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

For spyware/adware crap detection and removal use:
AdAware  http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

Spybot S&D http://security.kolla.de/
Both are free, they can pick up different things so optimal to use both

They will eradicate adware and the associated registry entries and tracking
cookies.

Spyware Blaster is a free utility which will prevent most of the adware crap
being installed in the first place

RegProt - a free registry protection utility which will prevent adware or
other applications from writing to your registry without your knowledge

For Trojans the best is
TDS3 http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/  - not free and for optimal use requires
high 'geek quotient'. Has a free fully functional trial
There is a free trojan utility called ANTS at http://www.ants-online.de/ -
new version soon to be released

They should give you a good start. Its amazing what they find the first time
they are run

Safe surfing,

 Bob
