A Handy Partner For Anti-Virus Programs

  This post is dedicated to a guy who found my blog while searching for 'virus that blocks anti-virus websites', but to avail no solutions :-( . Poor guy (*sob*), let's all mourn for this great loss... OK back to the main point. For every anti-virus, there still seems to be always a flaw in the protection. Well, just for products like AVG and all those low rated stuff (like that Spyware Doctor). To cover up for that, we can use Spybot Search & Destroy.


spybot search & destroy
Advantages :
  • Double protection for your computer, cause it has real-time scanning too
  • Scans your registry for spyware, malware related stuff with heuristic analysis (scans for behaviour), this is something you don't see in anti-virus programs, cause this one looks into the registry and gives you the details
  • All I can say is, IT'S FREE!!!!


select all and scan with spybot
For those who are having the same problem as the guy I mentioned, follow these steps :
  1. Go to their website and download the latest version
  2. Install it (make sure you tick the box saying 'include in file extension' or something like that)
  3. Start the program and update first, then immunize (it's gonna take some time, but it's worth it, skip the scan for your computer, you can do that later after you've finish these steps)
  4. Go to the folder in your computer here C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, then select everything
  5. Right click > 'Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy' (If this doesn't appear then you should restart first and repeat from step 4), then if detected take action on whatevers available ...& done!
 Please comment if this doesn't work for you (and other posts too if they don't work)
