The last day or so my system seems to want to dial our for some reason.. Whatever is causing it seems to upsetting things in general..

So whats a good freeware/shareware spyware and virus / Trojan detector in general..

I just ran Ad-aware today for the first time since July.

After I ran SpyBot (http://spybot.eon.net.au/).

Both will find the same stuff and each some different stuff.

Installed my DVDR last week and ever since there's been all this outbound traffic from an MMtask.exe. Which i'm told is a trojan of some type.. Spent the past evening running every spy ware/checking/update i can find..

Here's a million $ idea. Why doesn't somebody create a standard virus/spy ware/torjan definations file format. at least then, you wouldn't have to install 10 apps to find something..

oh well, more patches await... at least i don't have to work today..
