I'd also recommend Sysinternals Autoruns and Sysinternals Process explorer - helps to find out what is autostarting when your machine boots, and helps to remove the things you don't want.

I don't use any Adaware stuff at all, never had a problem with pop-ups etc when using firefox. IE sucks, glad to be rid of it. Thankyou Mozilla :-)
Does anyone know of any court cases of viruses released by industry to attack pirate users of their software (I mean aside from Elbox :lol::lol:) ?
I'm really surprised someone such as Autodesk or Comsol hasn't done this - nothing against those two in particular, I just mean high value IP companies. But I suppose releasing incomplete software then only supplying the service packs to registered users works just as well...
