Adaware - spyware record?

[electricfox]

I'm not sure if you've heard of adaware, but it's one of many software packages that is designed to remove spyware from your computer. I use it to help speed up my friend & fam xp computers... Anyway, I was using it to clean my cousin's new comp (as of about 3 weeks ago), and I came up with this. It has to be a world record. Where's guinness?

A friend of mine in the repair business recently had a customer complain their computer was really slow, brought it in for a checkup ... over 10,000 files infected by about a dozen different viruses ... DOH !

And I thought the 400 and some I had on friends PC the other day was bad.

I use SpyBot Search and Destroy. It works pretty well, is free, and I just love the name!

Using AdAware in conjunction with SpyBot seems to be a good solution. One always catches what the other misses (usually only like a couple of things).
