Not quite drowned, Stormie...in the last couple of hours I have discovered 37 naughty bits of spyware.
Oh, and a kitten.

Socs Adaware-6 picks a lot up. Free download, locate on Google etc.

Hullo Choccie it must have been a while since you ran the prog. I try to run it once a week. But never mind that now how about something nice and warming, it is Saturday night ;-)

I already have Ad-aware 6, always on the lookout for improvements though. It usually finds between 10 and 30 a day.
I also have Norton anti-virus and firewall. I'm lucky in that my ISP, Blueyonder from Telewest, also scan all e-mail traffic and delete any infected stuff going through the network. Saves them getting choked up by denial of service attacks.

At least all you have to do is "select all" and remove the lot.

Just caught me Socs. I run MacAfee, used to have Norton but I found it slowed my system down, checking all the time in the background, I like MacAfee seems much more user friendly.

Well, I'm back - but not for long...keep misappropriating the kitten (yeah, yeah...I know there's a line in there somewhere)
Nice and warm sounds good, opto. I've had this tiny thing schnuzzled up to me all afternoon. But since I've tried to get on with the supper, the hunt is on..

It's getting late so I think I will just have some cocoa and then away to bed. Anyone else want some?

Talking to myself, sitting here playing with my worry beads. First sign they say.

What you up to tomorrow? I have a family history fair to attend at the Cheltenham Pump Room, probably take up at least two hours.

Dunno yet, Socks. Which two hours would that be then?

I don't know either. Depends when I wake up I suppose, breakfast, couple more hours reading the paper. Priority though, has to be to see if there's Chocolat on the internet!
