Ad-aware is old hat.

Spybot, I have yet to try.

Ooooh! Did you sniff it when it came out of the box? I love the smell of new computers! (and exit gate handstamp ink)

I was noting the smell today. I want this new computer smell to last forever. It's a good smell. It's the smell of technology and progress... or maybe it's just the... I'm not going to question it. It's technology and progress scratch-n-sniff.

I'm so tired, and a little bummed. I don't know why I think it's different anytime I get a new electronic gadget... I get it, imagining that it's usefulness is instant. And sure, it was pretty useful and stuff... but I'm faaar more into realizing what stuff I need to download, stuff I need to install from disks, yada yada yada, to actually get anything productive done with it today. I did do part of a take-home test, but the new shiny shiny kept me from concentrating.

Oddly, I'll be looking forward to getting "over" the new computer part, and just getting into the "functional laptop" part.

*yawn*

They are each designed to detect slightly different variations of spyware/adware. Using both is your best bet.

Meanwhile, we just purchased a new laptop of our own. Inspiron1721, with some upgrades over the base, though we decided to forgo the $50 color upgrade (the black matches our TV anyway).

My mom and I just ordered new Latitudes. With abundant bells and whistles.

I forgot to mention that the ultimate selling point was the € button on the keyboard, making it easier to type out €uromeinke.... LoT-friendly laptops!

Small update

As much as I preach using Spybot AND Ad-Aware, I had never got around to installing Spybot on my new (a month or two ago) computer. This thread prompted me to do so.

I last ran Ad-Aware the day before yesterday. I installed Spybot last night then updated and ran this morning. Spybot found and removed 54 objects.
