Yes. You should also try Spybot-Search and Destroy. Both are free.

A future regulation with a 0% chance of funded enforcement, why bother? One thing you can do is avoid Drudge's spyware ridden, pop up loaded, computer invading site.
Have you ever run a spyware check specifically after visiting his site? You will be shocked at the heaps of trash Drudge throws at your computer.

A UK-based website called Cyber Tech Help is visited by quite a few HijackThis experts. If you post your HT log, they will read and interpret it for you.

Go to Bayden Systems site & download PopUpPopper, a free pop up eliminator. I have it set to block everything from Drudge.

M_F, this might be a good time to trot out those links you have relative to this issue. They sure have helped me fight this problem . . .
Jethro, I agree with you. Any solution conjured up by the government will be less than acceptable.
As a personal observation, 98% of my troubles disappeared when I installed Zone Alarm Pro. Money well spent.

"Yes. You should also try Spybot-Search and Destroy. Both are free." I found a new one called "Spyware THIS!". Installed it and am impressed.

The vulnerability of MS products to malware is becoming an unmanagable problem for the industry. If Bill and Co don't fix their security problem in Longhorn MS will be a much smaller company in a few years.This is the problem with Windows. I went to Linux in June, I got 3 pieces of SPAM in Nov and 1 last month. I don't get any popups, and NO spyware.
I don't run any virus scanners, spyware blockers, I don't have to defrag, or check the 'regisity'. I now work WITH my PC and not ON it.
And I reboot when ever the power goes out.
If MS doesn't fix thier problems more and more people will be switching
