I have now run AVG 7, MS Antispyware (beta), AdAware SE, and Spybot
S&D 1.3; all in Safe Mode, but the Panda Activescan (online) still
reports 2 "spyware infections," very early in the scanning process.
Any suggestions for removing, or is Panda being over zealous? Should I
ignore them as "negligible?"
There has been no noticeable change in performance on my Compaq 2000
running XP with SP2 firewall.
