Yes Sandi, I'll agree that Ad-Aware is a good program (exceptionally so for
a freeware item as well) but not without its limitations. Even having
HijackThis, Spybot, CWShredder, PestPatrol, SpywareBlaster, AVG AV, and ZA
Firewall I am still amazed at the types of things that can appear.

There is truth to your comment regarding troubleshooting following the use
of Ad-Aware; this is taken to yet higher levels with the use (or mis-use) of
SpybotSD, and even more so with Hijack This.

On a different -yet similar- topic: I was, shall I say "amused" (?), at the
trials and tribulations in your *adventure* with "Intelligent Explorer" that
was fully documented in the E-List write-up! It proved to be most
enlightening as well as -at your expense -extremely entertaining! <G>

Thanks Sandi, for all of your efforts in making your WebSite very helpful
and informative. I refer to it myself on a fairly regular basis, and have
directed countless others to find a solution for their various problems
within it.
