I don't get spyware. I get paid to remove it.

HA! So it's in your interest for people to think it's everywhere! :~D

No, honestly it's just a pain in the fanny to me. I sometimes enjoy playing cat and mouse with it though on a corporate system where a reimage isn't the best option.

The worst ones are where the system is convinced that the spyware files are critical to Windows' continued function. I use a live CD to go in and smoke the little ba$tard.

And- I get the call when the user is complaining about it- I don't have to 'suggestive sell' the idea. There are *oceans* of this crap out there. I love it when they tell me that they 'have no idea how this got on thier machine', when all over the place I see blatant evidence that they spend the day entertaining themselves with it, instead of working. LOL!
