I downloaded this free utility and it found 17 things on my computer that should not have been there that my other spy/ad removal programs missed and now my computer is faster!

A must for Windows users!

Thanks Audrey. I've been meaning to do that all day and just did.

Also, there's a new version of Adobe Reader out, 7.0. It's free at:

Thanks Audrey, and Harry, for the links. I found them most useful. I downloaded and installed the spyware program, and upgraded my Adobe reader to the newer version. You both post such interesting and useful information. Thanks. :grin:

Thanks Audrey and Harry for the useful links! You're right Audrey, my computer seems like it has more pep in it since I scanned and got rid of the spyware that had snuck in. Only problem I noticed was reading the fine print, the Beta version ends in like June or July of this year. I wonder what they will charge for the actual version of it? :roll:
