I HOPE THIS HELPS ALL OF YOU. I use AD AWARE. I run it at least once a day sometimes twice. Every day it finds and cleans out 7 to 9 tracking programs placed into my system by the internet vendors I visit. These are not (usually) hostile programs but they do accumulate and slow down your computer with what is called "overhead". As happened to me, the overhead can get so bad your computer slows to a standstill and you cannot even move information to the printer. Then a friend told me about Ad Aware by LAVASOFT. It worked immediately and my system was dramatically restored to its previous blazing speed. Retailers hate Ad Aware because they want the tracking programs in your computer to tell them your consumer behavior. While it is a priivacy issue, it is currently legal to track your consumer behavior. The problem is the burden on your computer. HOPE THIS HELPS.

I have found that a combination of SPYBOT Search and Destroy and ADAWARE will find nearly all of the spyware, adware and malware on my system. I also use SPYWAREBLASTER and the Shareware version of ADWATCH (comes with AdAware) which help keep that crap off of my system in the first place. A great place to find all of this is at:
