Spybot works great. Don't know the URL off the top of my head but just Google "Spybot" and you'll find it.

How can I be sure that Spybot is working properly?


Also is 12505 what you are seeing when running botcheck? (# of known problems checking for)

Oldmantime, what exactly do you mean>?

If you have no problems, then it's working...


Also, I have noticed that it takes a considerable amount of time to get the d/l going for the updates, just be patient.

I allways thought that the good spys--were hard to find in the real world. Maybe not so in the computer world.

As for updates--I did that a few days ago and it said no new updates. That's why I asked about the 12505 number!
Like I figured.

After checking for an update to Spybot agian and no new one showed up, I sent an email to Spybot asking about why I could only get the version with 12505 problems, when I had heard there was a new one with over 13000.
I'll see what comes of that.

Oldmantime, correction, sorry, mine has 12,651, but that's only cause I've been running it longer then you have, I believe...

Take care

Ad-aware 6.0 is pretty good too and it's free.

Go to downloads.com and they have a section on adware removal. Lots to choose from to try out.

Spy Sweeper is another quality freebie, and it finds a few items that Adaware & Spybot miss.

I use Spybot 1.2 Search and Destroy, I am not sure how often to use it though. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.
