| 236286 | 2004-05-14 11:52:00 | Just bye the bye, I am using the newly released version 1.3, not the release candidate. Thanks for the advice re Adaware too. Overall I think they are complementary programs and I wouldn't be without either. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

I also think people do worry about it. Unlike these random quirks ... which people, given enough care and attention, can reasonably do something about. |

| 236289 | 2004-05-14 16:57:00 | just updated my spybot and found 20 items to delete and i run lots of anti spyware programs better paranoid than slow | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 236290 | 2004-05-14 20:44:00 | >Personally I normally run Adaware first then Spybot to mop up the leftovers . As do I . Spybot, though I believe is more advanced, picks up different things to adaware . As a result, I run them both and get a few things either didnt /wouldn't have picked up . But yes, my computer keeps randomly halting and I have no idea what it is . I used spybot and adaware and neither said anything, but adaware looked harder . I was concerned when there was no update for spybot . . . |

Actually, if you read the links above, you'll see they recommend that if you have any of the Release Candidates or Beta versions that you un-install them and start 1 . 3 with a clean slate . Upgrading from 1 . 2 should be fine :-) Chill . |

Spy ware can slow your computer to a crawl, cause instability, stop it functioning completely, bombard you with ads that are streamed to you from your own hard drive, Make using the internet completely impossible....... |

Spyware is > embedded into the Windows Kernel just to add to metlas comments . . . . . i assume you have proof/example of this windows kernal spyware ? most MS stuff is so well packet sniffed i'm sure they would have found anything by now and i certainly havn't heard of any major concern with it yet . (except from those with illlegal OS's ;-) ) i have noticed a change in the programs . eg eudora ads are no longer targeted as spyware . seems they are focasing on those that are more harmfull and proven spyware than just the normal adware . |
