I did a fresh install of XP, installed Firefox, antivirus and never touched IE for 6 months. I finally stumbled upon a page that wouldn't work in Firefox, so I loaded IE to use it, and low-and-behold popup's and such.
So I downloaded adaware, scanned and it found 2 things, which it removed. Now, if I hadn't of used IE, would they even be there?

Anyway monse, what brings you back to these stomping grounds?
What do you do working for MS?
Not sure what wen't on today, i connected to my pc using <a href='http://www.tightvnc.com' target='_blank'>Tight VNC</a> remote desktop from uni and the MS Spyware thing wen't crazy. Started using 100% processing power and it kept spawning more versions of it's self. Eventually i had the Ctrl+Alt+Del them all to make my pc work right.

Secondly: I'll try this out at the PC shop I work in. Really badly spyware infected computers can be a huge pain. Adaware, spybot, HijackThis, and sysinternals tools (specifically Autoruns and Process Explorer) usually get rid of all but the worst. But on those idiots that have to click every flashing link they see and bring their computer in re-infected every month, it never hurts to have something else in the toolbelt. And I've always gotten good results out of MS's memory scan.

hrm, in teh straight up spy bot versus this scan spybot found 7 processes while ms found one. Neither found a process on the others list. its like adaware all over again. i guess ill start running it and see if the rate i pick up bots goes down.
