Ok, why should I worry you might say??
Well normally running it every couple of days or so there were always a
couple of things that it found but the last couple of times checking for
problems finds nothing!
Should I worry??
Regards.
Roger.
 
Adware!!

Blimey, I was hoping that Antivirus, a Firewall, WinPatrol and Spybot was
enough!!!

Ok, no point asking for advice if your gonna ignore it!!

Cheers.

OK......I am not ignoring you.....grin. I use both Spybot and AdAware (and
a couple of other things that you won't want to hear about)......Spybot is,
in my opinion, the superior spyware program....AdAware is good, and looks
better.

But since I put SpywareBlaster on here, neither of them finds the usual 2 or
3 cookies that were on here every day. It is a super little proggie....just
blocks them from downloading.

Is that OK? Have I eased your mind?

They really do do exactly the same thing, you don't honestly *need* both
but they are both free, and not very big, so it's just wise to make sure
they cover each others back...don't be too worried about everything that
comes up and just enjoy using the computer for what it's meant to be
used for =)

As long as you don't go to "dubious" sites your chances of catching
anything really bad in the way of spyware is near zero...

Just remember that the best program for avoiding this kind of stuff is
"Brain 1.0" =)

About time to secure your Internet Explorer: disable activex downloads

They do, sometimes, find things not caught by the other. depends on how
paranoid you are :>)
