yeah u r right. but its reassuring anyway tyo have at least some protection programs instead of none

Xoftspy version 4.0 may be safe now (personally, I'd stick with Spybot). You can see the latest review here:

This is a good site to check before getting any anti-spyware programs.

Hi guys! You're terrific. When I first came into Dani Web I was really in trouble, I had so much spyware and adware in my computer it would be popping up literally every 15 seconds! I have followed all of the advice given and have installed all that was listed above, and are doing a lot better. But you see, I do a lot of internet errands for the senior members of my family who are not web-savvy (they think I am) and do some inquiries and shopping around and info searches and a lot of stuff, so I go into a lot of sites and sometimes, I walk out with barnacles. Usually, Ad-Aware finds them and deletes them. But I still have one (at least, that's what Norton Antivirus says) that neither Spybot nor Ad-Aware have recognized nor dealt with. Norton told me I have it but didn't remove it. It is called WinAdToolsX.dll and that's the reason why I was wondering if there was another software that would pick up where the others left off so that I could get rid of this thing or any others like it I might encounter. I have not been able to eliminate it at all, I even put my computer in Safe Mode and went to snoop around and couldn't see it. I do not know how to read HijcakThis logs, so I wouldn't be able to find it even it it appeared there, that's simply the reason why I asked if there was a chance with that software. AND I AM GLAD I ASKED, I don't need any more problems.
I think I have the latest version of Spybot (I got the upgrade from MajorGeeks) but I do not know how to manually upgrade Ad-Aware. I have the latest versions of SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster but it must be that I didn't know how to set them up because they have allowed spyware to be installed into my computer. There's probably something I don't know (which wouldn't be surprising, since that's why I'm here.)
Thanks again guys!

Thanks for the info! I went to one of the sites suggested and finally learned how to upgrade my Spybot and Ad-Aware. And added the Inocculation adviced. Haven't run it yet, but I expect it might help with this.

we'll stick with the free-ware stuff...actually i've used Xosft and it's pretty kool...and always remember to use more than one anti-spyware virus...
