    Is it shipped inside of a horse, and left outside one's city's gate?

    Golly, let me rush right off and install this software on your unsolicited, anonymous say-so!

    I was thinking the same thing when I read the ad-ware advertisement last night. Fortunately, I do not have to worry about such beasts since I do not use an operating system which has ever successfully been infected with such malware.

    This is one of the dangers of my approving registrations manually; sometimes one slips by the goalie.

    The original poster has been banned, but feel free to discuss spyware removal tools. I use three different ones; Spyhunter, Spybot, and Pareto Logic Anti-Spyware. All of them sometimes miss some things the others catch.

    OpenSuse Linux 10.3 - I can surf the web, send/receive email, chat/instant message, edit photographs, transfer images to/from my digital cameras, listen to streaming audio, mp3s, and CDs, watch DVDs, and only when absolutely required run Microsoft Windows XP within the confines of a virtual machine atop OpenSuse Linux.

    Peerguardian is an effective IP and Http blocker. It blocks spyware, adware, and malicious websites. Please note that peerguardian may also block friendly websites. If you want to block http, you may allow individual friendly sites ( degreeinfo.com ).

    Spamhaus is an excellent website that identities IP addresses of known
    spammers worldwide.

    Check out the sbl listing. " Any listings in 'Yellow' indicate ROKSO spammers and therefore mean a major spam problem. More than 2 Yellow ROKSO listings is a strong indication your ISP is in trouble." This may be beneficial for degreeinfo.com and users are able to ban IP addresses. I believe Peerguardian will enable you to block IP addresses. Not sure about that. You may have to create a list to block these IP addresses or ban the IP address through your firewall.

    We have many visiting engineers come to our facility from remote sites around the world. About 2x per month, I must remove spyware/malware in one form or another from a Windows box. Ah, the joys of supporting developers in a distributed environment.

    SmitFraudFix has functioned quite nicely for me upon encountering various strains that Ad-Aware or Spybot fail to remove. housecall.trendmicro.com has another decent freebie tool available through a web interface.

    My choice for a personal linux distro is either Fedora or CentOS, depending on the laptop I use that day. I also run Solaris x86 on an IBM T42P.
