Test drove it while I was running Win 9x, wasn't taken away by it.
SpyBot, Ad-aware, CWShredder & HJT ought to do you just fine.

Yes, same here and I agree entirely. It's one more thing running at Startup,

Good and thanks, I'll stick with what I have. Sure will be glad when
Javacool figures out what the deal is with Spyware Blaster....for us
unfortunate few that have the symptoms. No biggie, though, I have the
protection enabled!!
Heirloom, old and covered
