if you want help with ad-aware, I will be happy to help. I've been using it successfully for quite some time and it has gone through an itteration or two since I began with it. It also has a guard but you have to pay for the version that has it enabled but as I recall, the price was low.

That certainly sounds to worse than AdAware to me, and at least SpySweeper is supposed to offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, I think. That should be sufficient time for one to decide if it was just way too much hassle.

I could do it with JFW, but it was tough. I reclassed the list of found stuff to a listbox, which helped, and JAWS cursored a lot.
