VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

The bad thing about spybot search and destroy, is that there AREN'T ANY INSTRUCTIONS!. What I did was, download it. and click the Spybot search and destroy,then there what looks like a mostly blank page,at the bottom I clicked on to something like "perform search".

YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!!!!!! there is another button that says (something like) "fix selected programs". ALL of the items that have a CHECK MARK will be removed. Don't worry 'cause you can "restore" should you remove something that you need. The first few times that I ran the SPYBOT,I UNCHECKED a few things that I wasn't sure about. BELIEVE ME!-There will be enough OBVIOUS INTRUDERS, that you shoud be able to get rid of a lot of GARBAGE even if you don't choose to remove all of the reccomended items.

I even got a little crazy and went to the REG-(the registry files),and it wasn't as "dangerous" as some people say when they say stuff like "don't ever touch the registry", the xuipiter and gator crap that was sitting on my harddrive was pretty obvious,and I deleted it from that too.

(if you guys like this one I will tell you about the cute little scotty dog that barks every time that I get a new cookie and alerts me when a new (UNINTENDED!) program tries to install.)
