Can't find the thread were you wanted comments and/or changes made to my Hijack
Daily post. Would mind reporting them in this thread?

TIA

It was:
Subject: Re: Suspect a Spyware Hijacking?

I do a Ctrl-H in OE and I can see all of my posts if I have Show All
Messages enabled. Also, I mark threads to "Watch" that I post to for easy
retrieval.
=== what I posted =========

I'll post it daily Changes as required...

There is one change I would like to see:

"Install either but both are not necessary, reboot, read FAQ and overview,
use online update feature to obtain the latest reference files, scan for
Spyware much like you would with your pre-installed anti-virus scanner."

SpyBot S&D and Ad-Aware overlap a good deal but they are not replacements
for each other. Each have slightly different targets that they detect. I
would recommend running, after updating, both separately. Ad-Aware first
then SpyBot S&D.

Just loathe to see folks getting hijacked when there's so much out
there that can be easily used to prevent it.

That is why I would take the person to the Web page describing the problem
and get them to download the application. Spoonfeeding them will not get
them to understand the magitude of the problem.
