[dba-Tech] Giant spyware

Good to know. I downloaded it, ran a competitive test with 4 others and haven't gotten back to trying it. Pest Patrol does a good job for me and hasn't caused crashed lock-ups etc. so I'm happy with it - just always interested in the rest for the sake of thoroughness.

John,

Interesting. I tried Giant for a couple of weeks. It sure seemed to me as if Giant crashed more than was advisable for a modern program. I didn't wind up buying it.
