In addition to monitoring your activity on the Internet, adware and spyware can lock you into an unwanted home page and swamp you with pop-up advertisements. Removal can be difficult because the designers of such programs often try to keep them out of sight on your PC. Most don't show up on the "Add/Remove Programs" list in the Windows control panel. They seldom offer an "Uninstall" option in the Windows "Programs" list; in fact, they're seldom listed at all. Even when you identify them, some adware programs can't be removed directly because they are tied to other unrelated utility programs you may have wanted. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, there are ways to get rid of the programs. The first step: Go to sites such as http://noadwares.1found.com or http://noadwares.1found.com and run a free scan of your computer. They list any adware/spyware they see, but they do not tell you how to remove it. The site http://noadwares.1found.com , has been very aggressive in taking on adware and spyware. And, although it identifies fewer programs than PestPatrol and WebRoot, it does a much better job of explaining how to clean your computer. Another way of removing adware is to find its Web site, a plan that can be easy if your home page has been hijacked. Some of those sites offer an "Uninstall" program for their software, though it may be a challenge to find it. Look for an FAQ (frequently asked questions) link. Unfortunately, such uninstall programs don't always undo all the changes made to your PC. An adware program called i-lookup had a downloadable program to uninstall its software, but the i-lookup-sponsored Web pages listed in the "Favorites" section of Internet Explorer remained. I had to cl ick on "Organize Favorites" and manually delete them. A better bet for scouring your hard disk clean may be independent programs. The ones I found worked pretty well from all sorts of places (like the Windows registry). The best bargain was "Ad-aware," popular with many readers, as I learned from the e-mail I got after last week's column. "Ad-aware 6.0," available to home users for free from http://noadwares.1found.com , is easy to use. It lets you sort programs and files by type or adware company, so you can see the program it is proposing to delete. It eliminated annoyances such as a toolbar cluttering up Internet Explorer that kept returning even after I told Explorer not to display it. "Ad-aware" tracked down traces of adware I thought I had removed, and eliminated two viruses that had gotten on the PC because the owner had not kept his virus checker up to date. However, "Ad-aware" does not automatically watch for adware unless you pay $27 for an upgrade. You must run it regularly and check for updates. Several readers said they run "Spybot-Search & Destroy," available for free, at http://noadwares.1found.com . I have less confidence in "Spy Sweeper" from http://noadwares.1found.com , which you can try for free or buy for $30. It's easy to use and updates automatically, but offers few details about the adware it finds. During the cleaning process, "Spy Sweeper" told me I was running other programs I needed to close, but didn't say which ones or how to go about it. It also said I had Internet Explorer running when I didn't (at least as far as I could tell). Such statements don't inspire confidence. When I asked "Pest Patrol" to clean up a PC whose owner had already manually eliminated or disabled some of the unwanted programs, it found plenty of adware-associated remnants. But it got hung up in the decontamination process. Fortunately, the program displayed the folder that seemed to be causing problems. Because the folder was named Claria, after the adware company, I quit out of "Pest Patrol," opened Windows Explorer, and sent the whole Claria folder to the Recycle Bin. When I reran "Pest Control," it cleaned everything else out smoothly. You can try "Pest Patrol" for free. The full version, with a year of updates, is $40. The license costs $20 a year. If you're bothered by adware, but you want to keep using the "free" programs that come with it, "StopZilla," available from StopZilla.com, may be worth a look. It doesn't try to remove the adware and spyware, but claims to suppress it, by eliminating most of the pop-up windows while letting the "free" programs run freely. It costs $20 per year. Personally, I'd rather just get rid of it all. Then I would use www.PanicWare.com 's free "Pop-Up Stopper" program, or something comparable, to block most pop-up windows.

Stop popup windows and remove adware / spyware. Wow - Spam.. Use this advice instead: If you don't wish to follow all of the advice immediately, just want to get rid of your current dilemma, then you are welcome to scroll down to the section titled "SPYWARE/ADWARE/POPUPS", where your problem as stated should be resolved by the applications and suggestions found in that section. If this helps solve your problem then I again HIGHLY suggest you follow the rest of the advice below (matter of fact, I suggest it either way.) Suggestions on what you can do to secure/clean your PC. I'm going to try and be general, I will assume a "Windows" operating system is what is being secured here. SPYWARE/ADWARE/POPUPS --------------------- There are annoyances out there you can get without trying. Your normal web surfing, maybe a wrong click on a web page, maybe just a momentary lack of judgment by installing some software packages without doing the research.. And all of a sudden your screen starts filling up with advertisements or your Internet seems much slower or your home page won't stay what you set it and goes someplace unfamiliar to you. This is spyware. There are a whole SLEW of software packages out there to get rid of this crud and help prevent reinfection. Some of the products already mentioned might even have branched out into this arena. However, there are a few applications that seem to be the best at what they do, which is eradicating and immunizing your system from this crap. Strangely, the best products I have found in this category ARE generally free. That is a trend I like. I make donations to some of them, they deserve it! Two side-notes: Never think one of these can do the whole job. Try the first 5 before coming back and saying "That did not work!" Also, you can always visit: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm For more updated information. Spybot Search and Destroy (Free!) http://www.safer-networking.net/ Lavasoft AdAware (Free and up) http://www.lavasoft.de CWSShredder (Free!) http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html Hijack This! (Free) http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/ ( Tutorial: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html ) SpywareBlaster (Free!) http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ IE-SPYAD (Free!) http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm ToolbarCop (Free!) http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/toolbarcop.htm Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner (Free!) http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/index.html Browser Security Tests http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/BrowserSecurity/ The Cleaner (49.95 and up) http://www.moosoft.com/ That will clean up your machine of the spyware, given that you download and install several of them, update them regularly and scan with them when you update. Some (like SpywareBlaster and SpyBot Search and Destroy) have immunization features that will help you prevent your PC from being infected. Use these features! Unfortunately, although that will lessen your popups on the Internet/while you are online, it won't eliminate them. I have looked at a lot of options, seen a lot of them used in production with people who seem to attract popups like a plague, and I only have one suggestion that end up serving double duty (search engine and popup stopper in one): The Google Toolbar (Free!) http://toolbar.google.com/ Yeah - it adds a bar to your Internet Explorer - but its a useful one. You can search from there anytime with one of the best search engines on the planet (IMO.) And the fact it stops most popups - wow - BONUS! If you don't like that suggestion, then I am just going to say you go to www.google.com and search for other options. One more suggestion, although I will suggest this in a way later, is to disable your Windows Messenger service. This service is not used frequently (if at all) by the normal home user and in cooperation with a good firewall, is generally unnecessary. Microsoft has instructions on how to do this for Windows XP he http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...e/stopspam.asp UPDATES and PATCHES ------------------- This one is the most obvious. There is no perfect product and any company worth their salt will try to meet/exceed the needs of their customers and fix any problems they find along the way. I am not going to say Microsoft is the best company in the world about this but they do have an option available for you to use to keep your machine updated and patched from the problems and vulnerabilities (as well as product improvements in some cases) - and it's free to you. Windows Update http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ Go there and scan your machine for updates. Always get the critical ones as you see them. Write down the KB###### or Q###### you see when selecting the updates and if you have trouble over the next few days, go into your control panel (Add/Remove Programs), match up the latest numbers you downloaded recently (since you started noticing an issue) and uninstall them. If there was more than one (usually is), install them back one by one - with a few hours of use in between, to see if the problem returns. Yes - the process is not perfect (updating) and can cause trouble like I mentioned - but as you can see, the solution isn't that bad - and is MUCH better than the alternatives. (SASSER/BLASTER were SO preventable with just this step!) Windows is not the only product you likely have on your PC. The manufacturers of the other products usually have updates as well. New versions of almost everything come out all the time - some are free, some are pay - some you can only download if you are registered - but it is best to check. Just go to their web pages and look under their support and download sections. You also have hardware on your machine that requires drivers to interface with the operating system. You have a video card that allows you to see on your screen, a sound card that allows you to hear your PCs sound output and so on. Visit those manufacturer web sites for the latest downloadable drivers for your hardware/operating system. Always (IMO) get the manufacturers hardware driver over any Microsoft offers. On the Windows Update site I mentioned earlier, I suggest NOT getting their hardware drivers - no matter how tempting. Have I mentioned that Microsoft has some stuff to help secure your computer available to the end-user for free? This seems as good of a time as any. They have a CD you can order (it's free) that contain all of the Windows patches through October 2003 and some trial products as well that they released in February 2004. Yeah - it's a little behind now, but it's better than nothing (and used in coordination with the information in this post, well worth the purchase price..) Order the Windows Security Update CD http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp They also have a bunch of suggestions, some similar to these, on how to better protect your Windows system: Protect your PC http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ FIREWALL -------- Let's say you are up-to-date on the OS (operating system) and you have Windows XP.. You should at least turn on the built in firewall. That will do a lot to "hide" you from the random bad things flying around the Internet. Things like Sasser/Blaster enjoy just sitting out there in Cyberspace looking for an unprotected Windows Operating System and jumping on it, doing great damage in the process and then using that Unprotected OS to continue its dirty work of infecting others. If you have the Windows XP ICF turned on - default configuration - then they cannot see you! Think of it as Internet Stealth Mode at this point. It has other advantages, like actually locking the doors you didn't even (likely) know you had. Doing this is simple, the instructions you need to use your built in Windows XP firewall can be found he http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320855 If you read through that and look through the pages that are linked from it at the bottom of that page - I think you should have a firm grasp on the basics of the Windows XP Firewall as it is today. One thing to note RIGHT NOW - if you have AOL, you cannot use this nice firewall that came with your system. Thank AOL, not Microsoft. You HAVE to configure another one.. So we continue with our session on Firewalls... But let's say you DON'T have Windows XP - you have some other OS like Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000. Well, you don't have the nifty built in firewall. My suggestion - upgrade. My next suggestion - look through your options. There are lots of free and pay firewalls out there for home users. Yes - you will have to decide on your own which to get. Yes, you will have to learn (oh no!) to use these firewalls and configure them so they don't interfere with what you want to do while continuing to provide the security you desire. It's just like anything else you want to protect - you have to do something to protect it. Here are some suggested applications. A lot of people tout "ZoneAlarm" as being the best alternative to just using the Windows XP ICF, but truthfully - any of these alternatives are much better than the Windows XP ICF at what they do - because that is ALL they do. ZoneAlarm (Free and up) http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...eeDownload.jsp Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF) (Free and up) http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html Outpost Firewall from Agnitum (Free and up) http://www.agnitum.com/download/ Sygate Personal Firewall (Free and up) http://smb.sygate.com/buy/download_buy.htm Symantec's Norton Personal Firewall (~$25 and up) http://www.symantec.com/sabu/nis/npf/ BlackICE PC Protection ($39.95 and up) http://blackice.iss.net/ Tiny Personal Firewall (~$49.00 and up) http://www.tinysoftware.com/ That list is not complete, but they are good firewall options, every one of them. Visit the web pages, read up, ask around if you like - make a decision and go with some firewall, any firewall. Also, maintain it. Sometimes new holes are discovered in even the best of these products and patches are released from the company to remedy this problem. However, if you don't get the patches (check the manufacturer web page on occasion), then you may never know you have the problem and/or are being used through this weakness. Also, don't stack these things. Running more than one firewall will not make you safer - it would likely (in fact) negate some protection you gleamed from one or the other firewalls you ran together. ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE ------------------ That's not all. That's one facet of a secure PC, but firewalls don't do everything. I saw one person posting on a newsgroup that "they had never had a virus and they never run any anti-virus software." Yep - I used to believe that way too - viruses were something everyone else seemed to get, were they just stupid? And for the average joe-user who is careful, uses their one-three family computers carefully, never opening unknown attachments, always visiting the same family safe web sites, never installing anything that did not come with their computer - maybe, just maybe they will never witness a virus. I, however, am a Network Systems Administrator. I see that AntiVirus software is an absolute necessity given how most people see their computer as a toy/tool and not something they should have to maintain and upkeep. After all, they were invented to make life easier, right - not add another task to your day. You can be as careful as you want - will the next person be as careful? Will someone send you unknowingly the email that erases all the pictures of your child/childhood? Possibly - why take the chance? ALWAYS RUN ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE and KEEP IT UP TO DATE! Antivirus software comes in so many flavors, it's like walking into a Jelly Belly store - which one tastes like what?! Well, here are a few choices for you. Some of these are free (isn't that nice?) and some are not. Is one better than the other - MAYBE. Symantec (Norton) AntiVirus (~$11 and up) http://www.symantec.com/ Kaspersky Anti-Virus (~$49.95 and up) http://www.kaspersky.com/products.html Panda Antivirus Titanium (~$39.95 and up) http://www.pandasoftware.com/ (Free Online Scanner: http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/) AVG 6.0 Anti-Virus System (Free and up) http://www.grisoft.com/ McAfee VirusScan (~$11 and up) http://www.mcafee.com/ AntiVir (Free and up) http://www.free-av.com/ avast! 4 (Free and up) http://www.avast.com/ Trend Micro (~$49.95 and up) http://www.trendmicro.com/ (Free Online Scanner: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp) RAV AntiVirus Online Virus Scan (Free!) http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ Did I mention you have to not only install this software, but also keep it updated? You do. Some of them (most) have automatic services to help you do this - I mean, it's not your job to keep up with the half-dozen or more new threats that come out daily, is it? Be sure to keep whichever one you choose up to date! SPAM EMAIL/JUNK MAIL -------------------- This one can get annoying, just like the rest. You get 50 emails in one sitting and 2 of them you wanted. NICE! (Not.) What can you do? Well, although there are services out there to help you, some email servers/services that actually do lower your spam with features built into their servers - I still like the methods that let you be the end-decision maker on what is spam and what isn't. If these things worked perfectly, we wouldn't need people and then there would be no spam anyway - vicious circle, eh? Anyway - I have two products to suggest to you, look at them and see if either of them suite your needs. Again, if they don't, Google is free and available for your perusal. SpamBayes (Free!) http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ Spamihilator (Free!) http://www.spamihilator.com/ As I said, those are not your only options, but are reliable ones I have seen function for hundreds+ people. DISABLE (Set to Manual) UNUSED SERVICE/STARTUP APPS --------------------------------------------------- I might get arguments on putting this one here, but it's my spill. There are lots of services on your PC that are probably turned on by default you don't use. Why have them on? Check out these web pages to see what all of the services you might find on your computer are and set them according to your personal needs. Be CAREFUL what you set to manual, and take heed and write down as you change things! Also, don't expect a large performance increase or anything - especially on todays 2+ GHz machines, however - I look at each service you set to manual as one less service you have to worry about someone exploiting. A year ago, I would have thought the Windows Messenger service to be pretty safe, now I recommend (with addition of a firewall) that most home users disable it! Yeah - this is another one you have to work for, but your computer may speed up and/or be more secure because you took the time. And if you document what you do as you do it, next time, it goes MUCH faster! (or if you have to go back and re-enable things..) Task List Programs http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm Black Viper's Service List and Opinions (XP) http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm Processes in Windows NT/2000/XP http://www.reger24.de/prozesse/ There are also applications that AREN'T services that startup when you start up the computer/logon. One of the better description on how to handle these I have found he Startups http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php That's it. A small booklet on how to keep your computer secure, clean of scum and more user friendly. I am SURE I missed something, almost as I am sure you won't read all of it (anyone for that matter.) However, I also know that someone who followed all of the advice above would also have less problems with their PC, less problems with viruses, less problems with spam, fewer problems with spyware and better performance than someone who didn't. Hope it helps. -- - Shenan - -- The information is provided "as is", with no guarantees of completeness, accuracy or timeliness, and without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

In addition to monitoring your activity on the Internet, adware and spyware can lock you into an unwanted home page and swamp you with pop-up advertisements. Removal can be difficult because the designers of such programs often try to keep them out of sight on your PC. Most don't show up on the "Add/Remove Programs" list in the Windows control panel. They seldom offer an "Uninstall" option in the Windows "Programs" list; in fact, they're seldom listed at all. Even when you identify them, some adware programs can't be removed directly because they are tied to other unrelated utility programs you may have wanted. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, there are ways to get rid of the programs. The first step: Go to sites such as http://noadwares.1found.com or http://noadwares.1found.com and run a free scan of your computer. They list any adware/spyware they see, but they do not tell you how to remove it. The site http://noadwares.1found.com , has been very aggressive in taking on adware and spyware. And, although it identifies fewer programs than PestPatrol and WebRoot, it does a much better job of explaining how to clean your computer. Another way of removing adware is to find its Web site, a plan that can be easy if your home page has been hijacked. Some of those sites offer an "Uninstall" program for their software, though it may be a challenge to find it. Look for an FAQ (frequently asked questions) link. Unfortunately, such uninstall programs don't always undo all the changes made to your PC. An adware program called i-lookup had a downloadable program to uninstall its software, but the i-lookup-sponsored Web pages listed in the "Favorites" section of Internet Explorer remained. I had to cl ick on "Organize Favorites" and manually delete them. A better bet for scouring your hard disk clean may be independent programs. The ones I found worked pretty well from all sorts of places (like the Windows registry). The best bargain was "Ad-aware," popular with many readers, as I learned from the e-mail I got after last week's column. "Ad-aware 6.0," available to home users for free from http://noadwares.1found.com , is easy to use. It lets you sort programs and files by type or adware company, so you can see the program it is proposing to delete. It eliminated annoyances such as a toolbar cluttering up Internet Explorer that kept returning even after I told Explorer not to display it. "Ad-aware" tracked down traces of adware I thought I had removed, and eliminated two viruses that had gotten on the PC because the owner had not kept his virus checker up to date. However, "Ad-aware" does not automatically watch for adware unless you pay $27 for an upgrade. You must run it regularly and check for updates. Several readers said they run "Spybot-Search & Destroy," available for free, at http://noadwares.1found.com . I have less confidence in "Spy Sweeper" from http://noadwares.1found.com , which you can try for free or buy for $30. It's easy to use and updates automatically, but offers few details about the adware it finds. During the cleaning process, "Spy Sweeper" told me I was running other programs I needed to close, but didn't say which ones or how to go about it. It also said I had Internet Explorer running when I didn't (at least as far as I could tell). Such statements don't inspire confidence. When I asked "Pest Patrol" to clean up a PC whose owner had already manually eliminated or disabled some of the unwanted programs, it found plenty of adware-associated remnants. But it got hung up in the decontamination process. Fortunately, the program displayed the folder that seemed to be causing problems. Because the folder was named Claria, after the adware company, I quit out of "Pest Patrol," opened Windows Explorer, and sent the whole Claria folder to the Recycle Bin. When I reran "Pest Control," it cleaned everything else out smoothly. You can try "Pest Patrol" for free. The full version, with a year of updates, is $40. The license costs $20 a year. If you're bothered by adware, but you want to keep using the "free" programs that come with it, "StopZilla," available from StopZilla.com, may be worth a look. It doesn't try to remove the adware and spyware, but claims to suppress it, by eliminating most of the pop-up windows while letting the "free" programs run freely. It costs $20 per year. Personally, I'd rather just get rid of it all. Then I would use www.PanicWare.com 's free "Pop-Up Stopper" program, or something comparable, to block most pop-up windows. A final word: Make it a habit to click "No" whenever a Web site tries to get you to download a "free" program. * Gene Emery is a columnist who covers science and technology.
