I downloaded and ran SpyBot. It came up with a list of files from Adobe Acrobat, MSIE, Office etc...
Should I 'fix' these? They don't appear harmful ... would they stop the parent program from working?

**alva** · January 19, 2003, 07:52

AFAIK these file should stay.

**FrustratedPoet** · January 19, 2003, 07:53

That's what I thought so I left them alone for the time being.

**Skanky Burns** · January 19, 2003, 07:55

Its probably catching the "integration with ie" stuff that allows you to (for example) view pdf's inside of ie using acrobat. See if the website has any information about these products, but if you can't find any information, leave them be.

BTW, there is a kazaa lite ++ too. Sets you as 'supreme being'

This is exactly what I've been saying all the time in this thread.

Ad-Aware's been crap since August last year.

How could anybody gets infected by spyware is beyond me

**Dis** · January 19, 2003, 14:39

spyware is sneaky. it is quite easily to get spyware ya know. I can get it just by posting at bulletin boards like Apolyton. I don't know how they can do it with my firewall, but they do.

Thanks for the info Ixnay.

Worse than Ad-Aware, is imesh.

Why don't one of you start a general Crappy Program thread?

**kring** · April 10, 2003, 04:23

Ad aware 6.0 is out now, and is updated regularly.

I use both adaware and Spybot since they can catch what the other one misses.

**Frankychan** · April 10, 2003, 04:40
