Super Anti Spyware is great

Just thought I`d put out some thanks and appreciation for this software (free version).

http://www.superantispyware.com/

I had been recently getting ad popups for anti-virus software (ironic, as they would have inserted the virus), search engine ads and other things.

I tried killing off the pest(s) with AVG free (useless), and other things that I found via the internet which were supposed to be good. They weren't. I couldn't install some malware-killing prog (can't remember it's name atm) which had great reviews, as the spyware/virus had disabled shfolder.dll which the malware-killing prog need to install.

Whatever the evil thing was, it was also stopping my usb drive from being recognised.

Anyway, came across references to super anti spyware, and it worked a treat! Found loads of stuff (inc 2 in memory) and zapped them.

So, I know this sounds like an ad. But SAS saved my bacon.... I was THIS close to re-formatting and installing XP from scratch.

Hopefully this saves others alot of time.
