    A good thread Negative.

    spyware is not just found on inet browsing, some applications have it inside themselves, often described as an auto-update feature. Thought I would warn everyone about that.

    ad-aware

    I personally use Ad-Aware to detect and delete spyware on my computer and it works pretty well for me.

    Hehe, I can see some people don't read much on the Antivirus side. Anyways, here's some more helpful links for those who need help in the spyware area:

    http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=157452

    http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=150752

    Both of those include various information about 3rd party software, spyware, ads/banners, and LavasoftUSA's kickass Ad-Aware (worth buying).
    We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.

    Nice posts, Vorlin, but it's not LavasoftUSA's Ad-Aware
    It's LavasoftDE's Ad-Aware... LavaSoft is a German company

    Hehe Negative, if you'll check the url for the posts, you'll see it goes to www.lavasoftusa.com.
    That is home to *THE* Ad-Aware 5.62 (final release so far) along with RefUpdate 1.3. There's a lavasoft.com that has other software and games, but I don't think they're affiliated.

    Hehe Vorlin, I knew you were going to say that

    Check out www.ministryofnegativism.tk ... It's my site, but I don't live in Tokelau, if you know what I mean

    Check out all the contact-, and support-adresses for Lavasoft... all .de's
    A German company....
