    I already got something that scans and gets rid of AdWare. I tried Spy Killer for the hell of it and supposedly I had 72 infected things. Most were "registry keys". My other spyware scanner never picked up on these things, although I have gotten rid of a lot with it. But 72 files it missed?

    Is Spy Killer worth $40? What could happen if I do not get rid of infected registry keys and things like that?

    Thanks,

    Bruiser

    I doubt if it's worth it. Ad Aware or what I use, Spybot work fine and they are free. Most of your 'spys' are cookies from advertising companies. Only a few are malicious and you usually get them from places on the net that you shouldn't go to anyway.

    SpyBot is fast, works great and it free.
    Big Government is Big Business.. just without a product and at twice the price... after all if the opposite of pro is con then wouldn’t the opposite of progress be congress?
