I have used Spybot and Ad-Aware for a few years. I like to run them both as every once in a while, one will find spyware that the other one doesn't.
Somehow, I messed-up the Spybot settings when I was messing with it's properties. It tries to run for a milisecond or so then stops. I removed the program and re-installed from CD, but it does the same thing. Does anyone know how I can tweak the settings perhaps via Explorer? gb
