Re: Its the People too, but I hate the scams for t


Spybot's done the job for me all by itself. This past weekend I worked on a machine with a dozen distinct pieces of spyware (300 traces in all, AFTER I cleaned up the obvious stuff manually) and Spybot cleaned it right out after 2 or 3 passes. Even a (thank goodness) low-order CWS infection.

Ad-Aware's not necessary, although it doesn't hurt as a secondary check.
