Phantom Adware? - Page 2
| QUOTE |
| Also, I have run into situations where the PC is so messed up that it must be rebuilt. The spyware software just can't reverse the damage...this is also true of virus infected PCs at times |
I'm afraid this is the case with one of my pc's at work, because regardless of what I have done, ie, checked for and removed known viruses, install AdAware, removed known spyware, I still have problems. I am very close to reloading the machine, which by the way has XP Pro installed. I am of the perception that XP is much more vulnerable to spyware/adware than 2000, based on the things I have seen with coworker's machines.

Anti-Spyware
NEW YORK - A coalition of anti-spyware vendors and consumer groups published guidelines Thursday to help consumers assess products designed to combat unwanted programs that sneak onto computers.
The Anti-Spyware Coalition released the guidelines for public comment and also updated a separate document that attempted to craft uniform definitions for "spyware" and "adware" in hopes of giving computer users more control over their machines.
