[thelist] RE: IE search bar

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	I'm a BIG fan of Hijack-This, simply because it gives you so
much data.  With that said, however, it's important to make sure that
what you're planning to delete is indeed unwanted; there are some great
forums around for that (google brings 'em up just fine) if you need to
check with experts.  HT usually turns up several more malicious programs
than S&D and AdAware... I've heard NoAdware is excellent, but I've never
used it.

FWIW...

Andrew,

It was disconcerting seeing the number of "shady" sites with long 
hyphenated urls showing up in google's results, I certainly wondered how

many were legit and how many were peddling misinformation. But that's
the 
only one I found with anything useful to say about that particular piece
of 
spyware.

What's your site? The one in your sig?

FWIW the only spyware *tools* I'd trust are ad-aware and spybot s&d and 
possibly hijack-this.

regards.
