• Update on Spyware: Scot Finnie of Scot’s Newsletter published an article on the state of Anit-Spyware software today. If you are concerned about deleting possible Spyware from your computer Scot's article is a must read. He says in part, "The spyware, and anti-spyware, landscape has changed significantly since I wrote reviews of Ad-Aware and SpyBot back in February 2003 and August 2003, respectively. For one thing, spyware has gone from being a nuisance that occasionally bit some people hard to being a threat that can bite just about anyone hard, every day of the week. The whole article is here. The article includes a review of the available spyware programs. You will find Eric L. Howes extensive list of Spyware resources here. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/soft6.htm#Enter
