I wouldn't go without Ad Aware!! Too much hidden crap gets on your computer.

I'm getting cable internet tomorrow (paid by work) and I can't wait. This dialup is getting very old.

I make it a point to "un-click" all the little boxes they try to slide in when you load something new that allows the to bombard you with spam, and sell your info off.

I watch for it as close as I can, but I knew I still miss out. Let me know what y'all think. I don't want to get carried away and chunk out files that pertain to my OS
well you have to be smart about it. when you do your search be sure to make sure to cross reference dates.

uninstall from the control panel add/remove programs but locate the files from the start/find.

if you are unsure though, leave it, but run ad aware or spybot.
