Spybot still gives occasional false positives,.. but I do like the
more agressive approach. As you said,.. it's no problem if you know
what you (don't) remove. I understand that you prefer not to recommend
it... but even with Ad Aware i would always recommend to check what
one removes... event though I really trust Ad Aware 99,8%... one never
knows...
The register monitor might be another good reason to recommend
Spybot..
