Thanks for the support. He was entirely correct. Spysweeper is an excellent program. I used it and highly recommended it until the the trial period ran out.
I didn't buy it because there were too many free programs that together are just as good. I actually bought Pest Patrol instead.
The mind goes as you get older (growing old ain't for pussies) and I spoke before I checked my reviews.
I just remembered that I had tried it and it was no longer on my machine so it had to be inferior.
