| Spyware Removers FYI Just finished reading an article in PCWorld ( Oct. pp 101-108) about spyware removers. The old "standbys" Ad-Ware and SpyBot Search and Destroy as well as Windows Defender did not show themselves to be very good. I ran all three one after the other and they indicated no problems, then I ran PC Tools Spyware Doctor and it found 6 files, one being a Trojan. I would recommend the PC Tools product too. -- Rick Fargo, ND N 46°53'251" W 096°48'279" Remember the USS Liberty http://www.ussliberty.org/ http://picasaweb.google.com/PaWalleye/NebraskaBirds http://www.flickr.com/photos/52529828@N00/ |

Spyware Terminator got a bad review somewhere also.I uninstalled Ad-Aware (it was buggy anyway) & now use A squared as a passive scanner in addition to a free version of Spyware Doctor. |
