thanks for the good word guys. Spyware removal tools NEVER remove everything…some things embed themselves deep in the system and can’t be deleted the traidition way that removal programs do it. If you run those tools and still have problems PM me…i’ll be glad to help a fellow board member ---

Theres always windows restore point. Always seemed to work for me with some spyware. You could google it, most of the time there are some easy fixes posted on anti spyware sites. ---

I use both IE and firefox. I do have antivirus but it never found anything. I have no problem with spyware. Being smart has more to do with not getting the shit than which browser you choose. IE is still a better browser than firefox IMO. ---
