so it looks as if we shall just have to be patient a little longer, doen't it?

I hope you've been using Spybot Search and Destroy since Adaware has become neutered. This is better than Adaware anyway. Spyware is more insidious than ever!

ad-aware - congratulations, no known spyware.

spybot - 107 items.

no kidding, indeed....

i just reformatted last weekend, and still came up with 97 items...most of it BackWeb stuff, prolly off the HP recovery disk i used...

which means it's been there for years and AdAware never caught it

thanks for the link, Nap - again!

I also like this little tool! Keeps those nasty activex boxes from popping up!!

Quote:

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

How? By setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage. You can run Internet Explorer with Active-X enabled, but you will never even get a "Yes/No" box popped up, asking you to install a spyware Active-X control (Internet Explorer will never download or run it!). All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will work fine.

The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these known spyware Active-X controls. Make sure you run the Check For Updates feature frequently to get the latest database! (And make sure you check the new items to protect your system against them!)

As a side benefit, setting this "kill bit" will also prevent the spyware Active-X from running, in many cases, if it is already installed on your system.*

nice link napho thanks.

But, thanks to napho, I shall not bother to re-install Ad-aware's new version - SpyBot S&D is light years better, so I'm sticking with it

Just got the notice last night installed and came up empty

It is alot faster in scanning with alot more options and features. With the plus version the new adwatch is now a registry watcher for trojans etc. A definate improvement to bad I can't find anything??
