More info?)
I apparently cannot use this tool as I do not use any of the mentioned
scanners. I run Grisoft AVG Anti Virus. I also have several adware
/malware scanners such as Ad-Aware,Spybot, SpywareBlaster, etc. . The
reason I inquired about this was that I was not sure of the exact
abilities of the software that I use. Sice I use these, should I need
to do anything further? People like you make these news reader sources
work, and I for one appreciate and applaud each and everyone of you that
contribute. Thank you David for sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks
again, Lee
