HAHA i just cleaned my computer of spyware and geez there was a ton of stuff. a whopping total of 341 items!!! but i feel great now. its actually utilizing all of its 256 mbs of memory.
seriously, i used lite versions of certain programs and its amazing how much spyware/adware i didnt even know about
anyways, hopefull some of you will do what i did. really surprising

do you have kazaa, or any program like that, they come in on thoes things.

[reverendflash]

that is why I use ZoneAlarm. At one time, over 10.5 Gigs of info was being stored on my machine without my knowledge...

me2 :(

I got so pissed I wrote a VB program to delete the stuff...

[twilight]

that really helped. I was wondering where all these pop ups came from when ever i opened up my browser

*laughs*

I discovered progs like this a while ago. Lifesavers.

...*goes to get some candy*

Anyways, yeah. I think I've just converted from lavasofts.

Why?

Cause the first time I ran Ad-Aware it froze. And the second, and the third.
it eventually did the job, but I think it was overloading from the gargantuan amount of spyware I collect.
:P

i just scanned my system with spybot.. it got things lavasoft didnt.. thanks fez :beam:

I downloaded Sygate Firewall a while back, and it conflicted with my OS (98) and said that teefer.vxd and other files had been deleted from my system... after a lot of fuss, i reinstalled the program and did a fresh uninstall and that did the trick, i am not downloading that companies software anymore. :/

I have Kazaa lite = no spy ware
