Can someone recommend a good FREE spyware/malware download that works well? Thank you drive through.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
and
Super Anti-Spyware
together are a good place to start.
Excellent choices Duster.
I have links for you for both programs on my website so you don't have to wade through all the BS to get the free versions.
I'll verify the links and post them for you in a few Rob.
Keep in mind that both of these programs need to be updated regularly (once a week or so is good)
Superantispyware loads on startup and runs in the background but can be changed to not run on startup by right clicking it's icon in the system tray.
Here ya go. (Malwarebytes)

and Superantispyware

Mind if I ask what is happening to cause you to ask?
Avast seems to be pretty stable and it updates on a regular basis.

Thanks Ian. I have avast, but it doesn't do spyware and such. Just viruses.
Rob you got something nasty on your harddrive, you have anyone near that can look at it for you?? the best way is for the hard drive to come out and have it scanned on a different pc that is not using it as a boot drive like it is when it's in your pc, is this a laptop??
No, I don't know anybody.
I don't have another one that will go online, no. Why would I want to move things? Are you sayin this one is dead?
Well, I give the hell slam up. Screw it. I cannot get the links to open. I went to the parent sites of each and tried a direct download. I get the download window and then my computer pops a window up askin me what program I wanna use to open it with. It's never done that. It always used to automatically open them. I have no clue what to open them with and when I select one, I just go into a loop of downloading it all over again. F#$k it.
Go to majorgeeks.com get it directly from there,
They also give other optional download sites.
