RE: [Digital BW] OT -- Spybot for internet advertising cookies detection

2003-10-02 by Alessandro Pardi

This is mostly based on good reviews on computer magazines (after all you have to trust someone: what do you *personally* know about the food you eat? Mmh... well, okay, bad example, we all probably had better not know what we eat :-).
All I know is that the system administrators in my company use Ad Aware, and that's enough for me.

I'm surprised that people are willing to download and run anything that
claims to remove spybots.  Unless you've looked at the source code for the
removal utility, how do you know that it isn't installing something of its
own?
