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. http://www.lavasoft.de/default.shtml.en Cheers, Andre --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Anthony Atkielski" <anthony@a...> wrote: > I'm surprised that people are willing to download and run anything that > claims to remove spybots.
