Re: All too true.
said by Daemon  :
Also, there are programs you can run now that will prevent spyware from getting reinstalled. I suggest you run them on your friend's computers so you don't have to return as often.
Is there something like that that can be set on a specific schedule? Like once a day/week?

| you have your choice of methods. Some run via a .reg file that sets the kill bit of spyware and puts the sites that offer it in the restricted zone, or you have the more comprehensive approach of a scanner that sits resident in memory and activly fights installation of those programs. I like IE-SpyAD and SpywareBlaster
Now that I think about it, the .reg files are available naked off of the net and they are updated regularlly. It would be a simple matter to write a little program that fetches the .reg and executes it to merge it into the registry. Then, all you'd have to do it set the program up as a scheduled task and it would run on it's own. None of them have a sophisticated auto-updater like the better AV programs do.
