Ad-Aware 1

[GlenJohnson]

I'm posting this in the W2K servers location because most of the people here deal with users. There's free software out there called ad-aware. When you download things from some companies, the put cookies on your pc that report back to them what you do. I had a salesman with a laptop with over 2900 viruses, and he couldn't understand why it was slow. I figured if he was that bad about taking care of his anti-virus stuff, (Not to mention no scandisk or defrag in 3 years), he probably downloads all kinds of garbage and sure enough, he was being tracked. I installed ad-aware on my pc here at work, and found 11 companies tracking me! Steve Gibson had Opt Out but he discontinued that, and according to an article I found on techtv.com, where I downloaded ad-aware, Steve recomends it. If he does, it's gotta be good. Just do a search for ad-aware on any search enginge, it'll show up. Glen A. Johnson
