*** Thanks Bluewave for this,I have ad-aware myself and am amazed at how much junk you collect when on the internet,every evening I must get rid of at least 20 items of spyware.
What puzzles me is why three different programmes can identify different things ? it must be the way that they are programmed initially.
Can you give me the kosha link to Spybot ( the one that you trust) as one source on the intyernet says that there is one version that is malicious itself,I need to get the right one.

Ad-aware or Spybot Search and Destroy, Both are very good and highly recommended in all computer magazines (and free) and are superb for sorting trojans and some of the very difficult to remove spyware items....even where AVG has missed them (it does sometimes) I have all 3 of these running on my machine for security.
