Anti-Spam Software

Free Software

2) Always have virus/spam protection installed and working.  Make sure you have programs for both, or one program that handles both types of attacks (See Links). And run weekly scans of your computer with both your spam protection and you virus protection.

3) Keep virus definitions up to date.  This should be done on a weekly basis, any correctly installed virus protection should do this automatically.  But to be sure, you can always open up your virus software and check.

4) Be sure to have the latest windows updates/patches installed via the windows update tool.  Again this is an automatic procedure if it is enabled.  To be sure, right click on the my computer icon, either on your desktop or in your start menu. Then properties, and finally the automatic updates tab.

5) Finally follow the following removal techniques once a month to rid anything else that might have gotten by the previous tips.

Virus Software

Step 1: Install spam removal software.

Step 2: Run Scans on all Hard Disks

Step 3: Repeat step 2 using your virus protection.

Step 4: Restart computer. This will allow the antispam software to fully complete

Step 5: Run spam removal software again. Often the removal software will not get everything the first time through.

Step 6:

• Click Start then Control Panel.

• Go to Add/Remove Programs.

• Remove any software that you do not recognize, especially ones with small file size.  Less than 2 megabytes. Be very careful not to uninstall software that you or your computer relies on. If you are unsure if it is or isn't, simply Google the name of the program with the word spam next to it.  There are many sites out there more than willing to let you know if a certain program is spam.  You aren't the only one that dislikes it.

Step 7:(Exercise extreme caution) If problems still persist, most notably during startup, proceed as follows.

• Click Start, then Run.

• type msconfig

• A box will appear containing many tabs, click on the tab labeled startup. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER TABS!

• Once here, you will see a list of all of the programs that run during startup. Carefully go through each line one by one to see if a given task is something you recognize or installed. The best way to go about this is to look at the command line, go ahead and click the line between the words "command" and "Location" to expand the line so you can see the entire directory.

• From here you should be able to identify whether or not you need it.

• Uncheck all that you do not.  This will reduce your spam/pop ups and speed up your computer significantly.

• After doing this and you find that something that was suppose to run during startup, or a particular program that you normally use isn't functioning right.  This means you probably unchecked something that you needed. Not a big deal.  Go ahead and repeat the previous steps and re-check some of the startup items that you were unsure about until your programs function again as normal.
