Post #232,378 by imqwerky 11/3/05 11:34:00 PM Reply	I'm confused about Ad-Aware I heard that it wasn't all-that and that I shouldn't use it anymore because it leaves stuff on the computer that you don't want it to leave behind. (Don't ask me where I got that info, I can't remember). So, what's the straight scoop on Ad-Aware? Thanks. Peace, Amy "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot

That, or switch to a better operating system. :-P Cheers, Ben I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
