Man lately my laptop has been acting all weird and slow even after I have defragmented and shit... and lately there are just way too many pop ups and stuff... so could any one suggest some good spyware and adware removers .... i do have norton 2005 but yeah it just do the job right now ...

so help me ya'll

LoL, yeah, I'll help ya..

Try Spybot: Search and Destroy

First off, get rid of that damn Norton...Get some AVG of Avast!, I like them both...Plus, they're free...

That's the link to Microsoft Anti Spyware...Download it, install it, and run it...

You probably also need a new firewall...Get something potent, I suggest Agnitum Outpost...

Lastly, you can do what I just did...Backup your vital files, and format...Does wonders for speed...

Do everything Ty said, except don't get Outpost..hehe..

So what's so bad about Norton's?

Its kind of a system resource hog I think. I used it for a while and didn't like it. I finally had to reformat my hard drive just to get rid of it all together. It made all kinds of annoying little changes.

that, and the fact that it is one of the most common test subjects for the launches of new vbirus,.. most won't be released until they can penetrate Norton.//

well that spybot thing has done the trick and i dont get anymore of those pop ups anymore but I'm having trouble installing the microsoft thing. Something to do with active x or something. Not to worry I ll get that fixed when i have time. Thanx guys
