Ad-aware is a must!

I ran it on my computer and it found 30 entries, this is a clean install we are talking about! Most of it probably comes from msn plus though since it hijacked mozilla and wiped everything including my email settings. I need to find a way to backup that stuff - did not know it could happen that easly.

Yep, I'll tell you another program to run that actually keeps spyware from being loaded on your pc. It is free, just keep it updated.

I've been using it for a few weeks and I am very pleased with it.
Make sure you keep your Adaware updated also.
Sounds like something hijacked your browser!

The free version of adaware has come under fire a little bit recently - as it does look like the program - though maybe not the defiitions - has not ben updated in a long time. As thus, many reccommend spybot instead - I think that's what it's called anyway, but I've never actually used it as I use adaware pro.

I have used Spybot. It's good.

I'll have to give that a try. ad-aware does a good job for me though.

Why not use them both?

A lot of people use them both. With Spybot S&D, just delete what is pre-checked in red.
