"the Internet, a development that promises social control"

[Steve Maas]

I wasn't aware of Spybot but there's a useful program called Ad-aware at:
http://www.lavasoft.nu/
The basic version is free. Even with a firewall, Ad-aware found some 
data-miners on my computer...of course, some may wonder if the program 
implants its own while deleting competitors....

I was noticing some weird little icons popping up periodically on my
vidscreen and began doing research about virus infections and the like and
ended up downloading "Spybot: Search and Destroy" only to discover that
almost 300 spyware files had been installed on my computer. Even with as
much blocking power as I have been able to find, a half dozen or so of the
buggers sneak through every day.
