I have also used ad-aware for some time now - Works well. However - Someone did mention to me that Ad-Aware can be considered spyware, And they recomended SpyBot at the time (Couple of months ago now). * Im not sure I agree with this - But it raised my curiosity. So Im also going to have a look at SpyBot & see what that can do. Also of note is a small program called "Bugnosis" which informs you of tracking cookies & what they are doing. Very simple to install. No overhead. Pretty Good! Bugnosis can be found Here: http://www.bugnosis.org/download.html also of note: http://www.bugnosis.org/faq.html         Michael.

I am using Symantec's Norton AnitVirus 2003, which scans my XP Home PC every week and, each time lately, reports 400 or so of these threats:     Dialer.Tibs     Adware.Lop     Adware.Ipinsight     Adware.WhenU     Adware.Cydoor It recommends I delete them, which I attempt to do but they won't delete. (It then gives me an opportunity to Exclude them from future scans, which I have been reluctant to do.) I have tried following some of the removal instructions on the Symantec web site, involving starting XP in the safe mode, removing registration keys, etc. but to no avail. Anyone have a recomendation? thanks -john Send BUG REPORTS to bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Send SUGGESTIONS to suggest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------- Post AmiQuote-related messages ONLY to: amiquote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Web page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiquote/messages/) -------------------------------------------- Check group FAQ at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/files/groupfaq.html Send BUG REPORTS to bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Send SUGGESTIONS to suggest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------- Post AmiQuote-related messages ONLY to: amiquote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Web page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiquote/messages/) -------------------------------------------- Check group FAQ at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/files/groupfaq.html Yahoo!
