I looked at some of that stuff. Although I had a few things they didn't know what they were, I found nothing that was specifically listed as bad. Than I found someone who fixed the same problem using this problem. So I ran it and I think I'm fine now.

WOOT! I, too, have a Mac, but I have to keep my laptop functioning properly so I can play SFC. Gotta keep an eye on things because this thing is as immune to disease as a sailor on leave in Amsterdam armed with only his Spidey Sense to pull out

Yeah, but you have a mac, which is worse

Actually, it turns out I had more problems than just this, but I'm doing much better with the help of a few various sites.

I'm the same way for the most part. I don't mind spyware that doesn't cause much problems (no major slowdowns, etc). Unfortunately, what I have now is much worse than that. It gives me lots of pop ups (I dissabled that computers internet, so now it just gives me pop ups that say it can't find the website, but I'm still getting them). I think it might be working, though, and I'll eventually solve the problem.

You may have to manually remove a registry key.

The New Norton Systemworks removes all that crap, and Yahoo even has a partnership with Symantech on their anti-spyware removal tool.

IMHO, those found to be sending out spyware should get 5 years prison, Or we could go the constructive route, they must come up with anti-spyware software for FREE!
