I always had Spybot and Adaware on my old computer and never found much of consequence, but I am the only user of this computer and I know I haven't strayed to the dark side or even been to a questionable site so tht was not a pleasant experience. Adaware goes on next and I'll be interested to see what that brings up. Until last night my only protection so far has been Microsoft Essentials and Malwarebytes.

I would also suggest running Super Antispyware (in my sig) there have been countless time I run Malwarebytes,> Spybot> then Super, and it finds items the other two have missed.	wainuitech (129)

I just wish it had a pause button though, since it seems to scan over a million items.	kahawai chaser (3545)
