1. What programs were you running?

Did you update both Spyware programs weekly and do weekly scans?

Inquiring minds want to know. :P

[trof]

5. Spybot and Spyware blaster.

They were supposed to update and scan automatically.

10. I use them but I always update manually.

Their website says they have updates available on Tuesdays.

Wherre did you learn this?

In an actual repair shop or did you use another SpyWare SW ?

3. I scan everyday for spyware.

I am running 5 spyware programs, some free, some paid.

If I don't scan daily the old laptop slows down.

9. Weren't those weird/cool? Funny story:

Guy in DeLorean front of me at automatic toll booth with barrier.
Missed the toll basket with his quarters.
On the ground.
He can't open the clamshell door.
Too close to the basket.
And he can't go forward because of the barrier.
And he can't back up because I'm on his bumper with a dozen cars behind me, all bumper-to-bumper.
After I had quit laughing enough to move, I got out picked up his quarters and put them in the basket.
He reached in his pocket and gave me 2 quarters for my toll.
"Thanks, man."

11. Yeah, I remember there was a fellow in Altoona who had one when I lived there...

I'd see it at the mall...always parked WAAAY off in a
distant corner of a half-empty parking lot.

Because if anyone parked next to him, he couldn't get
back in the car until they left. :rofl:
