    Most popular Spyware and Adware Programs

    As there are many computer repair techs here I thought it would be nice to know what adware and spyware programs you run into the most on customers computers. For me it is

    Virtumonde
    Virtumonde.dll
    Smitfraud
    Zlob
    And a whole plethera of fake anti-virus clients.

    Those programs you listed.

    I actually had each and every one of those listed on my laptop. They were a pain in the butt to get rid of. Were you asking what kind of programs we use in general to get rid of those crappy viruses/trojans?

    Zlob is by far the most common of them all
