Chasing spyware is a killer. I just reformatted 2 drives at work cause it was too deep into the OS to remove. It's like a tick, if you can't get the head, the rest grows back. Good luck man. :beer:

That stuff is for n00bs real men edit their own registry, plus those programs work ok, but aren't as good as doing it yourself.

no not all dll's are bad in fact most are good. DLL stands for Dynamically Linked Library, it is code that can be used between different applications which is their "code" for how they run the specific application that is designed to be used with, also known as a routine, kinda like when you punch "popcorn" on a microwave, the microwave runs the routine on how long and what wattage to pop popcorn at.

Baloney. Real Men have jobs and a life and don't have time to do everything manually. That's what technology is for.
