Subject: RE: Tech: spyware-etc..how it happens -what to do
Information please-
Spyware Doctor (the pay version) has removed everything that has shown up except one item. On average, about a dozen per day show up on scan, mostly from searching the internet. The one that can't be removed doesn't cause any problems that I can find, but information on it would be appreciated.
Can it be removed? Should I subscribe to Ad-aware as well?

On the system scans it shows as:
"General Scanner. Marketed as a program to add graphical skins to IE toolbars, it also adds its own --- Location- Multiple." It cannot be removed or quarantined.

I have Norton installed and updated by Symentec.
I haven't disabled or changed Security settings on internet options. An article in Oct. 2004 PC World seems to have the "how-to" but it is for the latest X version, not 98. There are slight differences in the tools instructions.
