I got news for you - Adaware and SpyBot didn't get half of the spyware
on that computer.

You need to add Pest Patrol and No Adaware and forget about SpyBot.

SpyBot is useless.

I believe our friend Tom frequents places he shouldn't...and picks up
doses of things polite folks don't mention in public!

Excuse me? Or you?

In fact, most of the spys were from the NYT, Washington Post and all
the little marine places I visit - all the ones that Adaware and
SpyBot didn't get that is. Pest Patrol got them all - every last one
of them.

As far as SpyBot - it's slower than hell and misses more than you
might think.

Later,

Tom
