I had some problems with the spyware making the system instable and Vicki did, too. Now I have McAfee's AntiSpyware running and watching things constantly. Also, my Norton AntiVirus watches for adware. And I regularly do full system scans with both. I had trouble with one adware/spyware that came back every time I rebooted even though it had just been "deleted". I finally found a service I didn't recognize, checked online and found it's part of somethingorotherbuddy (forgot its name). Removed the service and that ended that. I also had some that didn't go away fully even with mcafee, norton, and adaware se. I emailed mcafee and found out I had to stop all non-necessary things running (with msconfig), then boot into safe mode and scan/delete from there. That did the trick. My brother has one I still haven't figured out.
