    Just received my issue of Brian Livingston's monthly newsletter today. Thought it might be of interest. Seems that the 'adware' moguls are now filing lawsuits against some of our favorite anti-crapware sites. Please have a read:

    Put a dot com on the end of that and if you have no AV it installs two trojans.

    I'm sure there are many more but those examples come to mind.
    You left something out. It did not work.

    Maybe they shut it down. It worked for me and P3-450 went there to and got the same reaction.

    Ridge, seems folks need to learn specific teminalogy instead of grouping it all into one word.

    Definitions are going to be what breaks or what makes that ploy work.

    Almost another week of running. Had one glitch come up. My twelve year old was in YaHoo and she lost the passwords that the system had. Was not able to say all that she did. All of them were gone and replaced. Went to the cookie file and had file corruption. Spyware (some stats out fit). Used scanreg /restore to recover. Ran the HJT and was clear. But knowing HJT does not catch everything ran SpywareBlaster - nothing. Should I run some more?

    This means that a utility in the OS was able to correct the problem. Took less than 5 minutes to complete the above steps. On the HJT I compared to the saved HJT log.
