Spyware

Today mostly sucked. I spent 10 hours troubleshooting the infiltration of a spyware or trojan on my machine. After the installation of Ad-Aware, Hijack This, and manually nuking any file from my machine that had a timestamp of today, I think I may have succeeded in purging the issue.

I may be wrong and end up cursing my optimism. These things have a way of reappearing. However, after 10 hours of hell, I need to declare at least a temporary victory.
