How can I use CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy when I can't get an icon to appear in the Yahoo! toolbar?
-
I recently downloaded Anti-Spy but I can't get an icon. Going to the Toolbar Preferences does nothing because it is not in there. So how can I use it when there is nothing to click on to get the ball rolling, so to speak?

Answer:
CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy is no longer supported by Yahoo, and hasn't been for months - no reason given, no notice. There are far more powerful alternatives you could use! Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has an excellent reputation, as do Housecall on-line scanner and SuperAntiSpyware. All anti-virus also offer constant anti-spyware as well - they do miss some new ones though. You can scan with several different anti-malware programs, and should do so, since they catch different things, but only one should run constantly. (Remember to update MBAM and SAS before running, and to be extra-careful, run all scans in Safe Mode with Networking. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php (free version) http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ (an online scanner, always up-to-date) http://www.superantispyware.com/ (also free)
