Hello everyone,
Recently my computer has been sluggish. Jaws seems to be hesitating in
responding to my keystrokes. I'm Running Mcafee virus scan. I have my Mcafee
firewall plus, privacy service, and span killer disabled, because it causes
all sorts of problems with the computer. I do have a router with a premium
firewall, and I also use the Windows firewall. A couple of people told me
that it could be because of spyware. I did a Spyware scan by, PC Pitstop's
Free Optimize scan. And it told me that I had a couple of cookies with
tracking history. I was a little upset because it said it was free. And
after I downloaded, agreed to terms and conditions, installed, and waited
for the half an hour for the scan. I got to the last step to delete the two
cookies, and it told me that I needed to purchase the software to eliminate
them.
I wasted a whole morning and got nowhere.
Needless to say, Not happy here.
Can anyone tell me of a "free" program that will detect spyware?
And not only that, can anyone tell me why Jaws would be hesitant?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Roger Bachelder
