i just bought Spy Sweeper ... it was on sale for $25 plus a free copy of Window Washer. Window Washer is actually a pretty cool program, or seems to be...it deletes all the temp internet files, cookies, and stuff like that. As far as cookies, you can pick which ones you want active, such as your password for a site like rendo. WW also puts integers in your hard drive free space. It makes data recovery impossible for stuff you deleted, such as your credit card info....they call it "bleaching" your hard drive. Suppose the CIA could still find that image of nude Vick you deleted ? also has a complete deletion function that erases ALL data from your hard drive and makes in unrecoverable ..good for if you sell your system or give it to charity or something. There are free apps that do this stuff as well... The reason I bough Spy Sweeper is tha tit found stuff Ad-Aware and Spybot didn't....their trial version will not remove what its found, only identifies it. Actually a crappy way to do business, but then again, its one of the higher rated spybot sweepers ...but again, doesn't find everything.
