Ping Allan



Allan,

I downloaded Microsoft's antispyware and it did an automatic scan early this
morning. It found nothing. Just for the heck of it, I ran AdAware and then
ZoneAlarm's antispyware right after the Microsoft scan. AdAware found 14
buggers. ZA found one more after that.

So, I figured perhaps I should have it set for "complete system" scan
instead of "quick intelligent" scan. About 3:00 this afternoon, I did just
that. Again, Microsoft found nothing. A scan with AdAware (quick
smartscan) found 4.

It seems that either the Microsoft software isn't working as it should, or
there is some other setting I should know about. Words of advice?
