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

2003-10-02 by sceptre12345

Anthony,
There are no garantees!
I'd rather have something from a known source than have my computer 
infested with spybots from unknown sources. I say unknown because of 
their stealth nature. They may come from respectable sources as far 
as I know (Yahoo, Google or whathever) but they do not belong in my 
computer.

Here's a link to the Lavasoft home page so you can decide if its 
worth it or not for yourself.

Cheers,
Andre
