all spyware can be removed.

I make a habit in backing up all my stuff...
about every other month, I do a clean install of the OS - cuz
i'm paranoid like that

I have a mac as well, but I feel pretty safe on that machine...

they need to come up for legislation for this shit. it's just wrong. you should be able to sue a company for putting programs on your machine that #1 you don't want and #2 that you can't remove (if you're a novice) and have to format your hard drive just to get rid of them. that's nonsense.

Yep...totally agree. It is supposed be advertisiing, but who is going to be interested in what they are selling if all it does is annoy the shit out of you??? Makes no sense.

drthundr, were you able to remove your spyware?

[drthundr]

You gave me the instructions after I had reimaged a machine but I will give it a shot the next time I come across CWS. Thanks again for that info.
