Got Gator, Hotbar, Bonzibuddy, Weatherbug and not know it?

Download and install AdAware (by Lavasoft). This is one of the greatest little FREE utilities
available on the market. It works like a virus scanner, except instead of scanning for viruses, it will
scan and remove "spyware". Also like a virus scanner, it will check the Internet for the latest
definitions so that it will stay current with the latest Internet scam going around. It will scan
your files, registry, and cookies to see what is on your computer, and then it will delete anything you
tell it to. If you do not recognize something that it finds, you can double click the item to get more
information about what it is. There is no registration, and if you dont like it, you can uninstall it.
All and all, it is worth a try at the very least. You will be surprised at what it will find, I know I
was.
Calaveras Internet suggests using AdAware -- it's Free!
