How to remove Spyware

Software

The first method is to use one of the tools listed on our Downloads page. We can't say they will clear everything effectively but they are a start. Gibson Research should have a full version of their Opt-Out product available soon so watch this space for info on that.

Route confusion

The second method is slightly different and involves actually fooling the software by modifying the Hosts file on your machine. This can have negative side effects for certain other useful day to day applications so should be used with extreme caution, and also it would require a lot of work to maintain.

Manual removal

The third method is to go through removing files and making system changes manually. This is more complex as each type of Spyware behaves differently, and requires a certain level of technical know how.

There is no single method, so rather than rewrite what's already been done, here's a list of links into what I've found to be the most comprehensive pages on the net covering walkthrough removals, most are located on a the CEXX website:
