Microsoft released a free spyware detection and removal tool for Windows XP/2000 NT.
Its pretty good, better than Adware and Search& Destroy I think.
can dwnld from link at www.microsoft.com, its about 6 megs.
Even a feature to check if your Windows machine is a genuine M$ one and not a stolen one, mine passed, yay
Its a Beta one but doesnt expire till June.
it is funny to see the major distributor of spyware selling a spyware tool. Wondering if it will uninstall the mediaplayer, messenger and WinXP
webdoctor -
thanks for the link. I dl’d and installed this prog.
It did find and remove a couple of troublesome bits on my computer. Looks to be a good prog so far.
I do not use IE or Outlook Express and this did seem to bother the prog a bit.
I use news.google.com as my homepage and it did try to change this a few times but it seems to have leaqrned not to fuck about with this setting. Also attempted to install the new MS search engine as my search tool. I just said…“no.”
Seems to be ok so far.
