hijack this showed LOTS of stuff in my computer which are essential to the computer working at all. be very careful with it.

hijack this and adaware missed a bunch of spyware i had in my computer. i use spy sweeper - it picked up all the spyware adaware left behind.

and cwsshredder was always very helpful for finding cool web search and removing it.

thanks.. I'll try spy sweeper

[krusher]

I use to use spybot and adaware. But lately, I have been using spy sweeper and have been very happy with it.
