    I apologize, but my knowledge is below par with computers. I use spybot and adware to remove this garbage from my computer. I have zero problems, but i saw something that struck my mind. Ive seen people talk about how great these programs are and it removed "the last spyware on there computer they had." After running these programs is it possible to detect exactly how many if any are still on ur computer so u can rid urself of ALL This crap. TY for comments and suggestions

    P.S. Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player EVER.

    Unless you know exactly what you're looking for, I don't think there is any way for the average user to know exactly how much, if any, are left. SpyBot and AdAware seem to be very good at what they do and if you're not having any problems I would take that as a good sign that there aren't any nasties left behind :)

    There is one other app called "HijackThis" that will root out any browser hijackers on your system if you want to give that a whirl and see what you get :)
