While we are not advocating for any one program here, there are several that must be mentioned in order to learn what these are, what they can do and just where they came from. One such program is that of OptOut. This program was designed by Steve Gibson and really became one of the founding tools in the fight against spyware. It was one of the first tools to do this and therefore was the foundation for other programs that were to come along. Some of the most popular tools include Ad-Aware which was designed by Lavasoft. Another program is that of Spybot-Search and Destroy which was created by Patrick Kolla. These programs have helped many to fight. In fact, they not only removed spyware but they worked at helping to stop the download of them, too. You can also look at Microsoft for some help. Just months ago, they began working on a program to help with this type of protection. The program was for Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003, and was a free downloadable program that expired in July in its beta version. It was called Windows AntiSpyware beta.
