Default Re: How to detect malware

Matt,

Run Adaware and Spybot (both free), as well as your normal anti-virus program. But you probably already have Windows' anti-spy program which although not great is something. As far as pay programs go, Spysweeper is very good. It's also good to be familiar with the normal processes that run by looking occasionally at your task manager (cntrl-alt-delete and process tab).

And in the future, you should enable password protection of your computer and maybe even turn if off when leaving. Plus either tell those hos to stay away from your computer or clean the house yourself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
