I agree with that person, Bobby.
When using Adaware and Spybot, run them in Safe Mode because you can get rid of
hard to kill malware if you do so .
There are a few applications/processes that Adaware and SpyBot can't kill until
they are run in Safe Mode.
In a TechRepublic article
(http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6286-0.html?forumID=11&threadID=156742&messageID=1633627),
the author wrote

I had an instance of one particular tenacious piece of malware that just
wouldn't go away. After running both of them one day on a troubled machine, I
happen to have regdit open and *poof*, an entry was added right before my eyes.
Considering the potentially destructive nature of this class of software, I'm
really surprised that the AV companies aren't more aggressive in this area.

Again, the Safe Mode reference is mentioned here:

" ...some spyware can only be removed in Safe Mode ."

virus checks, Spybot and AdAware should always be run in the Safe Mode. I had
never read this before. I'm going to go back and try to find the source but do
any of you agree with this?
