[WEB4LIB] Ad-aware?

[Julie Bauer]

I installed Ad-Aware on all our public computers a
couple of months ago.  It roots out junk like Alexa
and Comet Cursor, but it really came in handy when we
accidentally left our security software (Fortres)
disabled and someone downloaded a program.  When we
uninstalled the program, it left spyware behind.  I
don't think I ever would have known about it if not
for Ad-Aware (how's that for a testimonial!).
