Folks,
I found an item in a CNET dispatch about spyware and adware aps:
Get rid of them
If you ask me, these apps, called adware or spyware, have no business
being on anyone's desktop. That's why I'm pleased to share with you a
new and completely free product that will remove them from your PC:
Spybot
<http://www.cnet.com/software/0-806181-1204-20848563.html?tag=txt>
Search and Destroy.
As usual, it references PC's only. Does anyone know of comparable
software that works for the Macintosh. I know very little about how
SPYWARE and ADWARE work, and what they do, but I don't like the sound of
it, for starters.
Thanks,
Bond
