What can Ad Muncher do for you?

Try these and see what they can do for you.
If you think that you have an infection try these programs, ALL
If you want to try different programs, try these.
First and foremost, these are MY opinions and have experienced several machines that had these on them.
Stop using the following software:
– AVG –
– Ad Aware SE –
– Spybot Search and Destroy –
– Ewido –
– McAfee –
– Housecalls –
– Trendmicro –
– Panda –
– Norton –
– eTrust –
– Kaspersky –

Adaware will pick up tracking cookies, which you acquire at any website visited.
You can use SpywareBlaster however. It is a free program and adds an extra layer of protection. You will need to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)
Another good antispyware tool is Superantispyware
SuperAntispyware
Need a pop-up blocker
If you are using Internet Explorer and you get pop us all the time, even after cleaning up the mess, then consider getting FireFox. Visit and get this free web browser. It has many features of Internet Explorer 7, but not ActiveX, so you still need Internet Explorer for some websites.
You should use Windows Updates to get some of the Security related fixes.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
adaware will pick up on cookies (results page list as tracking cookies)
as long as you keep your pc up todate your good, and have good protection
i would also recommend a good pop up blockr yahoo has one (get without spyware function)
good firewall also

Download SpywareBlaster—http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
SpywareBlaster doesn’t scan and clean for spyware – it prevents it from ever being installed.
It’s main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
