Re: All Advantage Spyware

Best bet is to visit www.grc.com and find an app called OptOut.  It will scan your drives for those nasty spyware 
dll's, and prompt you for their removal.  

I know that CuteFTP has advert.dll (not sure if the later versions have this).

    Attention AllAdvantage Users: 
    It has come to my attention, that All Advantage corp. 's software for 
    surfing the net for money, has some dll files that do some interesting 
    things. 
    They are detailed in this text file, written by acecww, 
    http://home.cyberarmy.com/acecww/advert.txt , please read it, it shows 
    many things, such as screwing with the registery, and unregistering 
    dll's, replacing the code, then when your browser closes, putting 
    everything back to the way it was. Anyone else have any comments, 
    questions, or just plain outrage, please reply to this email.
