This might be helpful to someone having sudden problems with their computer &/or their internet speed. I originally had 5 seperate spyware programs on my computer all of which I paid for except one: Pest Patrol, Ad-Aware SE plus & Nortons 2004 & spybot & Spysweeper which was free and I didn't pay to update. By the way even though Ad-Aware is free the Ad-Aware SE plus is much better and more efficient & will pick up things the free version won't. Anyway, to make a long story short, my internet and computer speed started to slow down & I went through all the above programs & nothing was detected. Finally out of futility, I clicked on the spy sweeper upgrade, ran if and it detected Ad Alnet spyware on my computer- the only way to delete this was to order a full upgrade for a year to Spy Sweeper which I did. My computer & internet are now running alot better. My point of all this is that I recommend anyone who has a problem or potential problem with Spyware to pay for a couple of these spyware programs because one might detect what the others don't. I definately wouldn't rely on 1 sole free program.
