Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Re: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
I've been using that but it missed a lot of stuff that Spybot caught.
-drl
New AdAware gets stuff that Spybot misses too.
Run 'em in tandem.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
New You have to update the signatures...
Everytime you run it.

Spybot has only caught about 10 more minor things that Adaware didn't catch for me. But when I run Spybot first Adaware gets quite a bit more than it after Spybot runs.

I got a machine that was SOOOO bad, that WinXP tried to auto-rollback out of an auto-install of one worm and while another worm was deleting checkpoints for rollbacks at the same time. While she also tried to install Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus... Ouch.

Let us just say, that WindowsXP doesn't do too good at 320x200 resolution, and no an unknown PCI BUS and quite a few other things.

Needless to say, it was not beyond my skill, but dam that was a pain. She had her Business records on the machine without any backups. Again, I made a backup of all her stuff on CD-R, on her machine.

All I can say is: Wow, I taint never seen that many "objects found"

And to the tune of a billion dollars I supplied to the DOE some tasty little nuggets of alien technology... and as one might expect I've been HARASSED for YEARS!
