Hate to say... But no filesharing software is installed on this computer. And only legal software is installed. So... Nice try? =p Also, AdAware is installed. Along with an up to date virus scanner. Plus
all
email is scanned before it enters. (Up to date too). AdAware was run BEFORE the hosts file changed. Without any spyware found. And -AFTER- it was changed. Without any mention of any spyware (It was updated both times) So... Hrm? =/
Ad-Aware is NOT, unfortunately, successful at getting rid of a lot of things thought it does identify almost all things. It is also updated more frequently than Spybot but the best bet is if you identify Registry entries with Adaware, run Spybot to get rid of them. Adaware WILL get rid of a lot of them but not all.
