Steve, > I have Ad-Aware ETC
Leo Laprorte says that no anti-spyware program will find ALL spyware. AND the ones that don't block it as opposed to finding it after the fact often cannot remove it. He says you need more than one program and you need to set it up so that it is running all the time to block the spyware. Unfortunately the more things you have running all the time the more likely your computer is to start slowing down. I havn't provided any answers and I think the old addage, 'your milage may vary' is still true. Each computer setup is different whether they are on dialup, whether there is a firewall, hardware or software, whether they have anitvirus software, etc. Peraonally I think that the differences among this malware are becoming less and less easy to define or even less of differences. People used to blame all their computer problems on viruses. Now they blame them on spyare. My remedy, which may not be an option for many of not most users is the reinstall everything every couple of months, or even more often. One way I do this is to use a program that clones my C: drive, and I locate the clone on a different partition of my hard drive. Another more drastice but also more effective method is to run my rescue disks which wipe the C: drive and reinstall the OS and the applications so that the machine is back the way it was when I bought the computer. That is more drastice because then I have to uninstall the programs that I don't want, like Quicken, etc. and setup my addressbook and my fovorites all over. I also have to reinstall my own applications, like Partition Magic, Word Perforec Office, Corel Draw, etc. Jim ------------------------ Yahoo!
