| 191439 | 2003-11-13 01:00:00 | Never heard of Spyaware? Do you mean Spybot? Spybot Search and Destroy is an excellent program to have if you suspect you have spyware on your computer. It complements AdAware. You could try downloading another copy and installing that in case your downloaded one is corrupted. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 191440 | 2003-11-13 01:35:00 | Seconding tommy on that issue, a good mix is Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware. I have no experience of SpyAware, its not as popular as the other 2. There can be issues where one spyware cleaner will recognise other spyware cleaner definition files as files to be removed, but a sanity check of where they are located is not hard. (If they are in AdAware directories for instance, they will belong to AdAware) The Error code 5 may be particular to SpyAware, so you would need to research the SpyAware help files or website to find what the problem related to. |

| 191443 | 2003-11-13 06:20:00 | thanks Tom you obviously know what I`m on about.I was thinking it`s better to stop any spyware from entering my PC ,than spending time getting it out,this seemed to me like a good program to achieve this.I`m still am in the dark as to whether it`s another program stopping it from installing,hence the need for feedback. Thanks. |

| 191444 | 2003-11-13 07:08:00 | Sorry, I completely forgot about your original problem in the quest to identify the program you were trying to install. Try having a look at this page (www.wilderssecurity.com) and see if it is of any help. Please post back with your results, whether successful or not. | tommy (2826) | ||
