you will still need to use adaware and spybot with these programs. they help a
lot - but don't catch all of the spies...

I just installed this and can't access any of the things you are talking
about. How do I know if it is running? Where do I look for the things
blocked? O went to the database through Exploring, but just got
gibberish when I tried to open it in WordPad--it didn't just open, I had
to choose somewhere to try. I really didn't have many (just 2 recently)
problem items when using Spybot and Adaware. I'm about ready to go back
to just those, if I am going to have more problems with this program.
