Lavasoft only blocks the companies that don't pay Lavasoft. After you've
scanned with Lavasoft, run a scan with PestPatrol or SpyBot and you'll still
find plenty of stuff on the computer.

The big problem is getting rid of the nastiest malware ever: Vista.
Everything you do on the computer and everywhere you in cyberspace go is
tracked and reported back to Redmond. Luckily, as nasty as it is, it is easy
to get rid of. Install XP, Linux or even Windows 2000 and your problem is
solved. Unless you got suckreed into buying a new computer. Then you are SOL
as some of the new hardware has no drivers for previous versions of Windows
OS. This is, of course, by design. For your protection, of course.
