[Woodcarver] Computer help needed

Hi Sylda,

I am a bit wary of downloading something off of Spam.  I would be
afraid that the "anti spyware program" might be in itself, SpyWare.

The answer to your question, should you run "a spyware removal",
definitely "yes". I would go to
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and download AdAware, but
SpyBot has a good reputation. Both are free. I used SpyBot for a while
but was unable to download the signature updates so I went exclusively
to AdAware. Do update the signature files occasionally; easy to do,
just click on the "check for updates" in the main screen.

I have had as many as 47 Spyware programs in my computer but eliminated
them.  Had a friend that had 7,400 such items on hers.  Unbelievable
but true.

Have a great day,
