Two of my home systems were infected with some really hideous spyware. Sure, I've been hit before but usually AdAware and/or SpyBot Search & Destroy would quickly and cleanly remove unwanted stuff. Not this time. It tried and tried with those tools, downloaded a few more, but no luck. I finally tried Giant Anti-Spyware and it worked great on both systems. It figures that Microsoft just bought them out. Try it yourself at www.giantcompany.com.
Had not heard of Giant before....
There are a lot of people making some big money over all of this, I would bet things are gonna get interesting in the courtrooms.....
