Hi,
I´ve made a reformat of my computer. I have the NOD32 2.5 Control Centre Anti Virus.
Am I fully protected against spyware, or do I need some extra software?

Thanks

Hi pipe30

Eset NOD32 is an antivirus. It is one of the best in virus detection and removal, and it can also eliminate some spyware-related threats (mostly trojan downloaders). However, it's not an anti-spyware program. You definitely need a spyware remover.

I highly recommend Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper. These are the best anti-spyware solutions available. Please note that these are paid products. If you want a free one, consider trying SUPERAntiSpyware.

You would want these antispywares freebies:

Spybot Search & destroy
Ad Aware SE

My 2 cents Cool
