adware threats

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Which spyware/adware program are you running?

On most, if you don't choose to remove a threat, you will get the chance the
next time you do a scan.

It's also a good idea to run two or more different programs. The best two
are ad-aware and spybot search and destroy. They are free. Sometimes one
will catch a threat missed by the other.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be
dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is
the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes...known instruments
for bringing the many under the domination of the few. . . No nation could
preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

- James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
