How come I knew that would be your answer Lite? :lol:

I'm just used Spy Sweeper, it's actually picked up some traces and other ones Ad Aware Pro didn't pick up... Currently, it's picked up 3.

Well, when i was using it, i got a whole bunch of false postives. Of course, i was using a very early version of it so perhaps its better now? Meh, i uninstalled it a long time ago. :P

Did i ever doubt that?

The thing is it should be all about compremise. Some less able computer users may delete something thats needed.

No, i was just asking mostly because of the Roll-Eyes smiley after that comment was made.

To people(erRor) that think i only use MSAS, i use Spybot and SpySweeper also.
