I use that with no ill effects.
KAZAA and other such software users can't use this software since it will indeed break Ad-supported applications. But this is just me writing that I want such to break so we can identify the SPYWARE.

I would like to know if anyone is using SpyBot 1.2 on a Windows XP machine? A friend of mine was telling me about it so, I decided to check it out. I was reading some of the reviews at download.com, and several of them were negative, and warned that it corrupted and deleted Windows XP files. Is that true? I am a little reluctant to download, and install something unless I know more about it. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this issue.
