Spybot is a great proggy but in this case no spyware remover is going to spot a
BHO hook. Neither Spybot or that crappy Ad-aware are geared to deal with BHO
hooks that alter searches.
Ad-aware can fuck up your computer. I am building a log of users complaining
after removing stuff with Ad-aware.
Years ago when all this spyware shit started Ad-aware stood alone but they stopped
working on it and Spybot took up the slack. Ad-aware has been trying to catch up
ever since.
The Ad-aware ppl stopped working on it so they could work on some very shitty
games they made. After the game thing pooched out they jumped back on Ad-aware.
Spybot doesn't have a bad track record, it just keeps on killing spyware and you still
have a functioning comp after the removals.
