Roger, Then this just gets MORE confusing :-) I didn't save my stats from either, but I had run AdAware with Custom settings to dig through EVERYTHING and it eventually come up OK. Then I run the MS deal and it finds stuff. NOT doubting what you say, but how do we ever know for sure something is really clean (short of formatting the hard drive...) :-) ? Chuck Just ran Ad-Aware SE Personal and MS Spyware Scanner against each other and both with their deepest settings. MS settings to Knowledgeable User. Ad-Aware 5 - IE Favorites to dangerous sites 1 - Browser hijacker = SearchIt various IE browser cookies MS Spyware Scanner 0 - IE Favorites identified 1 - Adware = SearchIt UltraVNC mis-identified as TightVNC and as a moderate threat. The detailed text did, if you read far enough, say that if it was deliberately installed it might be OK. However, the first thing under ADVICE was "This is a potential high risk threat." Nothing about cookies. MS has a glitzier interface but navigation is not consistent. Run it a time or two and when you start it the first window shows a nice summary. But take any option and then try to get back to it without exiting and restarting the program. The same information is elsewhere but not as nicely organized. Roger Vicker, CCP
