See you've been getting a number of "Oh yeah, you're one too" posts. I wanted to thank you for responding to my SpyWare post. Several years ago, I got infected with a BHO. After removing all of the files and associated registry entries, I was left with one file I was unable to remove because it was always "in use". Finally booting from a floppy into DOS, and navigating to the proper directory, I was able to delete the offending file.

In our corporatist culture, where corporations have more rights than people, I see that an AdWare company is suing Utah, claiming that it's anti-SpyWare law is unconstitutional.

Anything you (or anyone else) would care to say on this subject that might elucidate me, would be appreciated. I should add that I'm in no way endorsing any of the above.
