New Anti-Spyware update from Lavasoft
The good folks at
Lavasoft have just released an upgrade to their fine, free anti-

Ad-Aware SE. Although spyware doesn't have the replication and nasty destructive functionality of a virus, it can bog down your system with as much as a 50% hit on performance.
It's been a while since I checked for spyware and Ad-Aware caught 109 objects, mostly data miners.
