Question: What is the best free software to get rid of spyware? I cant connect to any secure server sites. For example I cant log into any of my banking, email, or anything that requires a password. It just started happening out of the blue. Can anybody help. I cant figure out how to fix the problem. Even with a system restore doesnt help. Somebody told me it could be spyware

Answer: For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!
