Re: OT: safe place from which to download spyware "cleaner"

[Mark Cassino]

I think it only works with Windows Xp and 2000, but the Microsoft 
Anti-Spyware beta seems to be pretty good to me - I used AdAware, Spybot, 
and PC-Cillin (which includes an anti-spyware module) but the MS product 
found some programs the others missed.

Is free from Microsoft.com, though you have to validate your XP install when 
you download.

I clear my cache every day, I defrag two or three
times a week, I've deleted a bunch of
useless software and files - but I still seem to
have too much stuff on my computer.
Soooo
given I have Windows 98, what do I need to do to
at least check the spyware level?
Help, please :)
