A few have been destabilized to the point of being useless, but are fine after removing the trash. I use Adaware 6.0. Even clients who protest "I never click on anything!" are heavily infested.

The "advanced" versions just offer realtime checking, etc. I've been hearing lately that SpyBot Search 'n Destroy is better than Adaware - apparently their pattern files are more "up to date" than Adaware's have been. After 9/11, Bush made two statements: 1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity." 2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism." Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Couldn't figure out why one user's system was acting up, checked with the IS manager and he took care of it with Adaware.
