  spyware/adware removal
  
  thanks for everyone's suggestions!!!
   
  So far, I downloaded and ran Spybot and, i 
  think, i got rid of quite a bit of ad/spyware...my Friday night  Norton 
  scan will confirm...
   
  One disapointment is that I may have to pay $30 
  to keep the reminder system I have become dependent on (Date Manager from 
  Gator/GAIN Publishing). It turns out that Gator was prominent on the list of 
  stuff Spybot found. Can anyone suggest a (ideally ad/spyware-free 
  and <$30 ) reminder system? GAIN claims their $30 product is '<FONT 
  size=3>GAIN Network advertising' free, whatever that 
  means.

    Try Ad-aware.  They have a free program 
    version that's as effective as anything I've tried. They have
    regular updates to the reference file.  It 
    will let you go through the list it finds and select the items 
    for
    deletion.  On my machine it was able to 
    get rid of 'sah', which is very hard to eliminate because it 
    keeps reinstalling itself.  Ad-aware is 
    available from <A 
    href="">www.lavasoftusa.com.
     
    Note: It's Ad-aware, not Adware as in the 
    pest-ware Norton is reporting on you machine.
     
    If you're willing to do manual cleanup, you 
    might try www.pestscan.com.  You 
    can run a scan from 
    their website.  On my machine 
    it found more stuff than Ad-aware did, but the free scan doesn't 
    do
    any cleanup.
     
    Take a look at 
    RoboForm.

      spyware/adware removal
      Hi,Anyone else having problems removing 
      adware/spyware threats from their PCs?I am using Symantec's Norton 
      AnitVirus 2003, which scans my XP Home PC everyweek and, each time 
      lately, reports 400 or so of these threats:    
      Dialer.Tibs    Adware.Lop    
      Adware.Ipinsight    Adware.WhenU    
      Adware.CydoorIt 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 Ihave been reluctant to do.)I have 
      tried following some of the removal instructions on the Symantec 
      website, involving starting XP in the safe mode, removing registration 
      keys,etc. but to no avail.Anyone have a 
      recomendation?thanks-johnSend
