2009/4/12-20 [Computer/SW/Virus] UID:52844 Activity:nil | 4/11 Is there a spyware detector that is free and can scan networked
drives? Neither AdAware (free edition) nor SpyBot S&D have this
feature, and I'd prefer to not pay AdAware Pro a penny until
there really isn't any other alternative.
\_ How about SuperAntiSpyware?
\_ Just tried that, no luck :( They let you add remote drives

2008/3/4-7 [Computer/SW/Virus] UID:49325 Activity:kinda low | 3/4 Hi, what's the best free anti-virus software for XP? What about
anti-spyware? Currently I'm using Active Virus Shield and Spybot.
Thanks.

2006/8/21-23 [Computer/SW/Virus] UID:44080 Activity:nil | 8/21 Does spybot do real-time detection if I use Firefox in XP? Is there a
process in Task Manager that I can look for to make sure Spybot is

Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com for something better than
Task Manager.

2006/5/23-28 [Computer/Networking] UID:43157 Activity:nil | 5/23 I have DSL through AT&T. The service was originally established
through PacBell, transitioned to SBC, and now AT&T. I still have
my original plan and never converted to a SBC Yahoo! (now AT&T
Yahoo!) account. I noticed the price will be a lot cheaper if I
do. Are there any drawbacks? I thought someone mentioned some
negatives about the Yahoo! tie-in once upon a time.
