Does this Spybot delete files without asking, or does it give you an option
to select the ones you want to keep ?

Hey
I use Webwasher and Ad-Aware to remove most all ads and ad spys from my PC,
but just recently I downloaded "Spybot (Search+Destroy)" and it found 20-30
more spying items it said were being used for tracking purposes...
(Including a whole lot in Win98 itself!)
Why so? Does anyone know why Spybot finds more (different?) things than
Ad-Aware does?

Also maybe it's just coincidence, but since using Spybot to eliminate a lot
of stuff my OE5 mail program is now loading in and reading mail easily twice
as fast as before. It's great fun having it speedily zip along now the way
it does...

Spybot does caution however that it might remove some ad things that might
cause some software programs to no longer function, but so far I haven't
found any of these... (And if I do, I'll probably just delete them anyway as
long as they're not critical software....)
