Is there a free utility to remove spy ware. Ccleaner does not. I used AVG's one time free offering but would like to find a free utility.
I don't check the links above everyday, so if you have any problem with any one of them then just Google for the program name but use the site names that I have recommended since I'm relatively certain they are free of extraneous garbage.Eset online scanner is a bit different than the others in that you need to either use
IE or download and run their smart installer if you're using another browser. Then tick
the radio button that says "Enable detection of potentiall unwanted application"
Then click the link that says "Advanced settings", then check all the boxes except the
one that mentions "Use custom proxy settings", unless of course you're using a Proxy
Server. Then just click "Start", it will do a thorough system scan so it takes a long
time.
Right click NPE.exe and choose run as administrator.Norton Power Eraser would not load
I too use Malwarebytes, Ccleaner, and rely on Defender. However; I run Malwarebytes and Ccleaner manually as they really slow down start up if left to load at start.Malwarebytes and Defender is all I use...never had an issue but then again it's all about good/smart surfing habits..I thing in the last 15 years I've had one questionable invasion..I might ad that Defender has a uber small footprint on system resources as opposed to the bloatware of many other security suites.
