Usually I've not had an ounce of issues when I've ran back to back Spybot, PestPatrol and AdAware (full versions). Of the three, PestPatrol is the more thorough. And, you may need to boot the server down into safe mode to rid the server of these pests. That would ensure no network activity and most of the time, the pests do not get loaded in safe mode. Thus, a better chance at getting rid of them. -- "This message is made of 100% recycled electrons."
