Bungleau thanks for all the great sites. Seems weird that I have nothing for spybots and only had 3 minor things on my computer. Maybe it is also the firewall I have?? But I am sure it is just a matter of time before I pick up more.

It all depends on where you go, Mack... and where others on that computer go.

And Larry, thanks for the links. MRU blaster looks like it only blasts Most Recently Used file lists; how does that help with spyware? Not that it's not useful, 'cause it is, but my programming brain is wondering how they're connected... [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL Cerek! Ever seen the "I'm looking at porn" soundbite? Sets your volume to max and screams out that you're looking at stuff you shouldn't... nice practical joke, perhaps [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

And you made me think of one other thing: AVG Anti-Virus, also free for home use. I run it on my home machines (but McAfee on my "corporate" machine).

Well, they're not...but it does clean your tracks like and Window Washer does. It manages which cookies stay on your PC, as you can tell it to keep certain ones like IW cookies. I just find it a helpful tool.

PS>>>Look what I found!!

There are links to free scannings, and tons of free downloads, including removal tools for many major problems.
