I second that. In my experience, Spybot S&D has also been able to repair network stacks that were broken by Ad-Aware's clumsy removal of some spywares, notably the 'Common Name Toolbar'. Glenn Pearl

that
Spybot says Adaware stole their database). It cought more registry

than adaware did, and more IE changes.

Ive been looking at AdAware. Its free and seems to
do the
job. Im wondering what is the catch.? Has anyone done a review of antitrojan sofrware? Id like to know if
there
is a suitable/cheap/supported product that we can use to compliment
sophos
that will protect against malicious code, trojans, session hijacking
and
other web nasties. Thanks Jack _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
