    Is Anyone Else Getting...........

    a lot of spyware?? In the last 10 days I've found over 350 of them. I use Spybot- Search and Destroy and Adaware SE. I'd like to know where they are coming from.

    Is someone going where they ought not to go? I just got rid of it. Our lab guy has a little porn habit. I used Spybot and downloaded all the updates. Cleaned house but good!

    No, I am not going places I shouldn't!!!! I'm very careful about where I go. The only odd places that I've gone to are the Eyelogic site and BBC. I've been using Spybot for a couple of years, that's how I found them.

    I wasn't suggesting it was you. I only know where ours came from. Try Spybot again but make sure you have downloaded all the latest updates. Spyware finds a way around things after a while.

    Be aware that most of the stuff Spybot finds are tracking cookies, which are mostly harmless, and are put there by many reputable sites. Trojans and viruses are a different kettle of fish though.
