AdAware. www.lavasoftusa.com It finds things that SpyBot misses (and vice-a-versa).

>>Jim,
>>The redirection of URL's and the number of Registry entries plus the slow down of the machine was frightening - it seems that this type of invasion is something I don't want on my machine and having discovered it, I was then surprised that it did not seem to pop up here as a discussion item. I am pleased that i discovered the SpyBot package - I suppose the Virus packages will eventually expand into this area.
