| 250768 | 2004-07-08 18:22:00 | I run adaware followed by spybot every three or four days. AdAware always finds 5/10 Data Miners. I suspect they are put there by my regular web pages. Spybot has found nothing for the past month. Does this sound normal ???? Jack |

| 250770 | 2004-07-08 22:11:00 | So do you get this worried if you don't get a virus every couple of weeks? :D It's quite normal, both programs have their strengths and weaknesses. The two programs together create a formidable team against spyware though. |

| 250771 | 2004-07-08 22:39:00 | If you run Adaware first and there is nothing else to be got then Spybot should return a nil result. Try Spybot first then Adaware and see what happens. If Spybot still finds nothing but Adaware does, start worrying (if Spybot can't find cookies it's broken). I trust both programmes are up to date. I have found the new version of Spybot (1.3) has to be installed fresh not upgraded over the old version to get the udates working properly. Cheers Murray P |
