Kevin, the next time you want to antagonize my life partner, you'd best come through me first. Nobody talks down to my woman, dang it. :insert fist shaking smiley here:

Oh flip, I guess I have to love you again :D

How is Adware different from spybot? Do I need them both?

Shannon, run AdAware and immediately afterward run Spybot. Spybot always detects something that AdAware didn't. That's how it came recommended to me and I find that it works like a charm. I've never tried the process in reverse order (he said anticipating someone's question).

Kev, make like Edith Bunker and stifle.

Shawna, don't stick youir butt out like that.

Uncle Joe,

I updated to the most current Spybot and since then all the scans have come up clean...whereas before it frequently caught items (tracking cookies, etc..)to be deleted. Is the program getting stuff before it gets onto the computer, or is it malfunctioning?

Marsha....I'm not sure. Have you upgraded your operating System or anti-virus system? Have you changed any of your security and/or privacy settings?

If not I don't know the reason for the clean scans. I'm not that techno-ficient.

LOL, Uncle Joe...Mars = first initial of my three childrens' names and the first initial of our last name!

The computers have been running very slow, I will need to do something drastic soon. I am trying to avoid the re-formatting procedure, but I may not be able to avoid it...

I am definitely going to pitch my 'homeless ' tent ( plastic sheet only ) just outside of your property - so you can't legally shoot me- at the next " Big Pig Jig " ! :rockon: :jack:

spybot (and ad-aware too) have a real-time protection additionally to the system scans :)
