Ad-Ware remover....

To all,

   With all the spam and viruses attacking us, much has been done to help
protect us in the form University licensed Symantec Antivirus and Firewall.
As well, the fine people at UCLink have fortified our email system. But,
nothing has been done about combating a newer threat, that of "AD-Ware". I
have been testing several products that seek out and remove spyware and
adware -- these annoying and sometimes destructive little programs that get
put on your computer while you are browsing the internet. I have one
program, Webroots' "Spy Sweeper" that does the job very well. It also comes
in an enterprise edition. I really think we should be adding something like
this to our arsenal of tools that are on the C@B disk. Check out the link
below for more information.
