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.
Has found stuff for me that firewall + Network Associates has missed.

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...
