Good catch, Sandy. Ron's link was for a knock-off, which at one time was
considered a rogue application:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

http://spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?p=125334

For the real McCoy, go to:

Sandy,

That link takes you directly to a site that lists:
Search & Destroy
2007 Leading Spyware Remover
Download It Here - Free!

However, once that link is clicked, you are taken to Spywarebot. Talk
about deceptive practices !!! Thanks for the heads up--I will change my
crib sheet to:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/

It is always safer to get your software direct through the author when
possible. In this case it IS possible.

How about simply using another browser in order to not get it on your
system in the first place?

Once the crap is there, you really cannot rely on stuff like Ad Aware
and Spybot to remove it.
