Default OT - "repairing" Windows XP installation

Yeah, did that. Came up with a couple of odd registry entries, but
nothing more. I'll add it to all the other things that are constantly
monitoring my every move :-) Do you think Spybot and Adaware are worth
keeping? Zone Alarm seems to be ever more intrusive too.


Spybot S&D and Adaware are both worth keeping, but might be a little
bit of overkill. As someone who's used Spybot for years, I tend to
recommend that to people, and have some lame instructions on setting
it up on my website http://www.coreutilities.co.uk

ZA is getting more intrusive, but it's always a pain for the first
couple of weeks until it gets to know what programs you use on a
regular basis.
