"Spywear blaster" and "Spy Bot" :nod: :)

when i run the spybot it says nothing is on the pc, (how accurate is that programme?)

try some sort of trojan remover, i always run 2-3 different programs as they are not all 100% effective

How shit must the old Ad-aware have been? I usually got about 10-20 items found but when I ran the new Ad-aware after I downloaded it this afternoon it found 148 items :eek:

My surfing activities have been no different in the last couple of days since I ran the old Ad-aware. :confused:

Hmmmz, I'm going to have a blast with these when I get home, having the same install of W2K for over 2 years with no firewalls etc means this could be amusing :)

Used the old adaware about 7 months ago and found 500+ thingys
