"The entries in it appear to all be add cookies." phew! ;-)
hmmn, good point. I'll try it the other way round next time. I definietely
saw somewhere that specifically recommended the Spybot and Ad-Aware combo,
and seeing as I had already subscribed to Ad-Aware and Spybot is free, I
thought I'd get both. Seems to be working perfectly too.

Jon,
Thanks for submitting the log file.
The entries in it appear to all be add cookies.
This is somewhat comforting as there are no "programs" listed that Spybot
missed. I can imagine that it would be quite a task for every company to
keep up with every cookie deemed addware. It may be a matter of lag time
between updates too. I would suspect that if you did it in opposite order
(AdAware then Spybot) you would probably have some cookies that AdAware
missed. I guess the moral of the story is if you want things really clean
run multiple cleaners :o)
Thanks again!
John B.

I can't remember who asked me what was left over after a Spybot cleanup that
Ad-Aware picked up... here's my log file. I downloaded the latest updates
for both last night, and ran Spybot, then Ad-Aware. This is Ad-Aware's log
file for the scan.
If there is anything of a nefarious nature in there, please bear in mind
that it's a shared pc ;-)
