I bought my last Dell a little less than a year ago...maybe five months 
now?  No Dell I've ever bought (so far) has had restore disks or a 
hidden partition.  They've all come with the OS disk, the driver 
disk(s), and the disks for the bundled software.  HP, Compaq, and 
Emachines come with the restore disks and/or a hidden partition.  Like I 
said, I don't like Gateway, so I don't keep up with them.

I haven't bought a Gateway in more than five years.  The last one I 
worked on had the same problem that originally turned me off - the 
hardware was very substandard.

installed and ran the proggie. took forever to run. not something I'd want
to do often. Found PalTalk as does the MS anti spyware program so set that
to ignore. The one cookie it found would be found by Adaware so my
conclusion is that there is no benefit to this program particularly if one
is using the normally recommended programs, Spybot, Adaware, Spyware
blaster and the current MS Windows Defender.
   
  I'll wait a bit and run it one more time after I have done a scan with
the others and then give it one more try before running the others. If no
benefit, it will be uninstalled.

  While reading some news on one of my favorite free sites that does 
not list Spyware or Adware I found a new listing for this program.

So far 5 people have given it good reviews. Not unlike Adaware it 
has a full version for a cost and a limited version for free to 
entice you to purchase the full version.

Just wondering if anyone here has see or tried it on an infected 
machine? I did test it on what I figure was a clean machine and of 
course the program did not find anyting.

It did seem to work ok but a bit slower than the others. Could be 
too I was running it on an 733 with XP. 

Ya know it is so hard to trust Spyware programs because of the bad 
rap some of these companies give that really are bad news. It is 
also hard to trust a program you do not know that starts deleting 
things from your machine.

I am just hoping this could turn out to be the next additional tool 
we can all add to the rest of our other pile of programs to combat 
the not so nice people our there always looking to break our 
machines.
