I have been looking for the thread where there was info. on the site where u can check on wether or not a Spyware Program is a valid and safe one. Why I did not bookmark it I do not know. Thanks in advance.

We use this site to check the HJT logs. SpywareWarrior.com

Spyware warrior is a+ the best site! Really helps me in HJT!

Thanks a Bunch!!! Phawgg I was trying to help out another member. So you not only helped me. They can reap the benefits from this link as well.

Marginally effective anti-spyware (or anti-malware) programs aren't good, so it's important to have someway to kinda compare 'em. The problems develop in such a way, quickly, that it's best to have a couple anti-malware apps on your machine so what one doesn't catch this week, the other might. In anti-virus, a pair 'o them wil probably confict with each other. ( don't ask me why, exactly... but they will. ) The same can hold true for the others, but trial & error on the part of many people can establish that some will work, some won't and that's why there are so few recommended ones at the spywareWarrior link above. There are many in a gray area in-between though. I'll be comfortable with a select few and count on the definition updates they frequently issue. The on-line scans prove their value the same way, by sometimes daily re-defining what's bad. It's good to use them also.

Phawgg I'm gonna quote this post of yours in the other thread I mentioned. There is no way I could put it as nicely as u have.
