I don't know your age, or expertise (of which you have a very high opinion),
however, you misjudge Spybot Search and Destroy. Check it at CENet or PCMag.
It was out there clearing spyware before Norton and McAfee. Now, of course,
the giants in virus protection have the same offerings as part of their
products, still Spybot Search & Destroy often picks up what they miss. It
surely did block migration from XP to Vista until I realized what the problem
was! Considering the number of downloads of Spybot Search & Destroy that
have been made, it is a significant problem for Easy Transfer migrations and
an alert needs to be added to the pre-scan program to identify it before the
migration begins so that people are stuck for 4 or 5 hours like I was trying
to get the operation to work.
