The system here running XP & IE6 has been under seige since SmartFinder
surreptitiously installed itself :twisted: I've tried to remove it with Pest Patrol and
AdAware SE without complete success; can anyone here recommend more
effective software that's also free to d/l? Any help is really appreciated :thumbsup:

Hehe I was curious to see that but it's been taken down

Logikal X · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2005, 12:40:13 pm »

it was an adaware scan with over 1600 results

oh thats nothing, at work we keep a post on the wall that has adaware "records" and printed screenshots... I think the record for us is somewhere upwards of 3000... which is fucking insane, but some of these uconn peeps have shitforbrains.

I've added MS AntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and SpySweeper and managed to
uncover another variant of this CWS 'hijacker' :twisted: I'm wondering if its easier
to just change my browser from IE6? Its inherently prone to infiltration :thumbsdown:

Do it. Mozilla Firefox is SO much better. I made the switch (which was relatively easy. Firefox gives you the option to import all your bookmarks from IE when you install it so you won't lose anything) and have since permenantly deleted the stupid blue E off my desktop. It also has a lot of nice features. Great pop-up control built right in, tabbed browsing, you can have windows media player accessible right at the bottom of the window (with a special extension.) It's just all-around worth it. Not to mention the better security. :thumbsup:
