Hi Joanie.....

I have been trying out one called Malware Bytes. It found two really old
registry entries that none of the others found. One of the writers is
someone I know and he laughed when I told him what it found. One was from
something called WeatherBug.....don't even remember using it. If you want
the link, I will get it. It only takes 4 minutes to do a quick scan and
that is way better than SuperAntispyware which takes 20.

But they all have their own niche spots......I did get rid of AdAware, but
I find that Spybot takes EONS to run. However I usually do that one every
week.

Cheers......and I will catch you guys up on the latest via email....Figgs

I use SpywareBlaster but the one I have for anti spyware instead of
Ad-Aware is SuperAntiSpyware, they have a free version or the paid Pro
version which is permanently monitoring.

Hi every one,
Back from across the pond. Glad to see this groups is still alive and
kicking.
Noticed that most members got rid of Ad-Aware SE. Anyone can suggest a
replacement (free is possible). I had heard of Spyware Terminator at
www.spywareterminator.com before leaving 5 months ago, but didnt have
the
time to act on it. Your opinion appreciated. Glad to be back to this
group.

Paul
