Yeah... my computer's been kinda laggy recently, so I decided to stop being lazy and get around to finally running Mr Adware program thingy. I honestly can't remember the last time I ran it... like... a month and a half ago, I think? Anyway, here are the results of the scan. I thought I'd share 'em with y'all. xp

Yeaaaahhhh... I should probably scan my computer more often, shouldn't I? X__x

1 of those objects is a registry key that keeps DivX working, and teh other 26 are just cookies. So I have no real problems here.

Why?
1. MY HOSTS FILE IS MASSIVE
2. I use Firefox.

o.0 Thats alot, Steve. my god.

Most I ever had was 200 some I think. I usually scan often though. Do you use Firefox? Only thing I use. :D

I ran Ad-Aware and Spybot on my 6-year-old Gateway.

They found one thing that wasn't even really a problem, not counting cookies.

I did the same for this compy after a couple years, and found a few minor things that seemed to be a result of other people using AOL instead of Firefox (augh). Ever since then it's either found nothing or a few cookies, which don't matter.

At least update and patch your copy of IE, silly! And remember, pervy stuff is a very nice way to get crap on your computer :p.

Not bad. I got a few thousand viruses on a neglected old PC with a broken anti-virus/firewall installation which I used for a year or so...I was too lazy to fix it. So I formated it like a year ago with Windows 2000, works great ever since.

I rarely get viruses or spyware. *sigh* I'm running too many anti-spyware programs..

HaTcH you liar! You said you didn't have a anti-spyware program because you didn't need it because of your host files and firefox.

Does that sound like I use it that much?

I scan it when I feel like it. Which means from a period of 1 second to 2 yrs.

HaTcH - January 29, 2006 04:42 AM (GMT)
And after 250 days, having the hosts file certainly has had an effect in the amount of stuff teh scan actually found!

I scan quite regularly.

But I dont use Windoze. ;D

Scottfab - January 29, 2006 09:57 AM (GMT)
First time I scanned, I had over 1000 objects.

Yay aduckie.
