Getting rid of the fooking spy(ad)ware

Thought this would be of help to you all ^_^

www.zeropaid.com- listing of file sharing programs, tells you which ones have spyware and which ones don't. Thanks for that link, Bahn.

Good article. I've been running Adware 5 on both my work and home pc, but my config file needed some cleaning.

Thanks Bahn :p

Good site and article.

Um... "msconfig" doesn't work on my win2k pro machine, and I can't remember the command to get to the equivelant. Anyone know it?

go to the command console....and type "ipconfig"

For some haggard ass reason nothing happens.

edit: Actually a window appears for a split second, and then dissappears.

There was a less user friendly adware remover if I remember, that worked better though. Just cant remember the damn site.
