anyone recommend spyware scanner and removal tools?
 |
hello - not been on for a while
I suspect that my machine (win2k) may be contaminated with spyware and the like. could anyone recommend a good (preferably freeware) tool for scanning and/or removing this stuff? My Norton firewall etc. doesnt seem to be enough to keep me secure....
Thanks
Sam
