I lik XP. It is the best yet. Still, I get the "Send Error report " window
5 or six times a day. It is the most crashingest OS yet!

Dealing with Hijackware

I highly recommend using HijackThis to identify and assist in the removal of
these bad guys. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, not
here.**

NB: If you have ever downloaded HijackThis or CWShredder, it is urgent that
you upgrade to the latest versions before using them again. Due to a new
variant of the CWS Trojan, using either HijackThis or CWShredder on an
infected Win98 or WinME computer may lead to severe damage to that computer.
You must update to the very newest versions of these programs before using
either of them again, and you should get a new copy of CWShredder before
each and every use.

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

Hiya,

I'm sure I can trust what you are saying, but how would I know that the
programs below are not in fact spyware?

Thanks

That's a fair question, Jeff. But I will add that PA Bear is a regular here,
and wouldn't post spyware. Have a look at the sites he gave you.
