Looking for a good free spyware/malware program to run on one of the laptops we have... That seems so have slowed down considerably in the past week or so.
I know LJ posted one for Sunny a while back but I can't remember the name of the program.

Those are two good ones for scanning what's on your PC. I also use superantispyware for that purpose. They the free version of AVG for proactive AV protection.

The very best antispyware/malware I can think of is called APPLE Computers.

He said free. Apple stuff is highly un-free.

If you don't need it ... I guess that's kinda-sorta 'free".

I REALLY don't know why computers don't come pre-loaded with the best spyware/malware programs available anydamnway (w/free updates). Seems to me it would be in their best interests.
