Didn't have time to check it out last night at home, too busy watching the
returns.  Will try again tonight.

But I have to ask about the vendors/authors of these spyware removal apps.
I make it a point to do some research on all of these vendors and software
apps nowadays, cuz you can never be too sure that you're not just
downloading and installing yet another malware to infect your system with.
I am willing to be a little more risky on this particular system, since it
appears to be bad enough to recommend a scratch install of the OS.

Also, this XP Home box has four user accounts.  So I wonder if I need to run
the Spybot S&D, AdAware, CWShredder, Spyware-Removal from each of these
accounts.  The Admin account is only available in Safe mode, should I run
this there as well?
