I use a program called Ad-Aware, for spy-ware removal. I noticed on lavasoft's web site, www.lavasoftusa.com , that you can also download a program called refupdate to keep your reference files up to date. The problem is, it doesn't include a proxy support and I'm behind a company firewall. Does anyone know how to get these reference updates without using this refupdate program or if someone has figured out a solution around the proxy problem. Many thanks.
