I just did the 1.3 update. It eliminated the little menu on the left side of the screen that removing the \easymode from the 1.2 icon place there. But on one of my computers the 1.3 version just came up with a whole bunch of new bad guys.

I found the menu. It's now located under 'mode' in the tool bar

Don't forget to 'immunize', they shouldn't come back.<br /><br />Aldo

Did that Dunaruna, thanks for the heads up on the update.<br /><br />It seems that there is a whole lot of effort being expended out there. It would be interesting to see the economics of all this spyware business.

Rabbit,<br />Spybot S&D is great in that it both immunizes against and removes the spyware. Ad-Aware I believe is specifically a removal tool in the free version (not 100% sure). It can occasionally cause your anti virus program to go nuts with false alarms, but it is a very effective removal tool. I have used it successfully when Spybot was reluctant to remove EVERY item found without a bit of added hassle. Spyware Blaster is an effective (immunization only) tool I really like to use as well. I find with two or preferrably all three I get really good coverage so long as I keep the updates fairly current. They take little overhead , don't tend to argue, and the price is right. IF I had to chose one I'd go with Spybot, but I suggest all three is even better.
