It's like Ford building a failure into their product, then charging to fix it. I'm surprised it's not illegal. T

I like using this tool in addition to the other tools that I use. They all seem to fins something the others leave behind.

I agree that a multiple program approach is the way to go. T

I've actually been using Giant's software before MS bought it. I found that it was able to find and remove some things programs like Symantec couldn't. This coupled with AdAware has kept my computer pretty clean. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington (S) Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 10:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] AntiSpyware becomes Defender...
