Hi,
I reckon you're right. But then again I only installed it today and hadn't
thought that far ahead!
Take Care,

Hi
This program seems to be very accessible with Jaws but, I can't seem to find
any update feature.

Hi,
I'm sure that most of you have heard of malware, spyware, spam, etc. These
are all ways that people without your benefit in mind can gain access to your
computer, find out information that you don't want them to know or otherwise
cause a nuisence.
There are several pieces of software that can be used to search for these,
some more Jaws friendly than others. However, there is a new threat that
renders these softwares useless called Rootkits. These install information into
memory, the Registry or directly onto your hard disk which gives a false
reading to other scan software, thus hiding malicious software.
There is a simple but very effective piece of free software to scan and
eliminate Rootkits; and what's more I found it very easy to use with Jaws. Find
it at:
www.sophos.com
Once installed, run SARGUI.EXE in the folder where it has been placed,
typically:
c:\program files\sophos\sophos anti-rootkit
