spyware

BTW buttsie--did your computer speed up appreciably once you got all that junk off there??

[buttsie]

To be honest Mike I didn't really notice any great difference
It actually corrected about 200 corrections out of a base of 5117
Slight over exaggeration on my part

Being on a 56k modem you tend to be a little bit apathetic to speed and time.

I had a lesser result when I first ran ad-aware for the first time....100 programs deleted

I'm sure it impacts but possibly more so from the spam email side
Its comforting to know that these 200 programs are no longer feeding someone my surfing habits so they can then email all manner of crap ie Ron Jeremy Stud Hunt
I've been averaging 100 per day...will be interesting to see if this diminishes
I'd go mad if I didn't log in through
and have a second email address for real emails

cheers
