I do tell the program to remove the high threat--the browser hijacker.
However, I've noticed that this threat is the same each time the program
runs. It doesn't make sense that exactly the same threat is in the computer
each time the scan runs. I just ran the beta again and it found only Kaazaa
and suggests that I ignore it rather than remove it.
I'm just curious why the exact same threat would be found each time,
especially since I run Zone Alarm, Norton's Antivirus, and Spyware Guard.
Lest you think I'm overcautious: I am. I've learned from you all how nasty
it can be to stick my head in the sand.
I run Spybot, Ad Aware, and Spyware Doctor. They each find different
threats. I like Spyware Doctor and didn't mind paying for it. After it
runs, Spybot usually can't find anything threatening.
