Thanks George. That's exactly my understanding of it, but i thought that Sunil had reasons to believe that it was not a good idea. As you may have seen from my other reply, Sunil was thinking of advice he had read regarding virus removal not spyware. Incidentally Ad-aware does not create a System Restore point and that is one reason why I am trying to discover why my system no longer produces them regularly as it previously did. I try to rememver to create a Restore point manually before installing/uninstalling software etc or using programs like Ad-aware, but advancing years results in occasional lapses of memory!
