[SEL] spyware OT

[Peter Lowe]

I have not liked the FREE Ad-aware SE or Spybot mainly because the Spyware 
is already in your machine and you have to manually scan for it and remove 
it.

I use Windows Defender (yeah I know it is Microsoft) which live scans and 
removes without me doing anything.

You get what you pay for, you get part of a program and not the entire 
program with the free ones.
Defender I think is now parts of Vista.

Your choice

Peter, Oz
