    Yes, I certainly recommend it to those with the experience to understand
    what Spybot might turn up.:-)

    I've seen some real flame wars break out on some boards over this as it
    seems some of Spybot's adherents don't believe it can be overly aggressive
    or they pass it off with a reminder there's an undo button.

    All well and good, Ad Aware has an undo as well but if you suddenly find you
    cannot boot the system, undo has been undone!:-) I've rarely seen anything
    in Ad Aware that would cause that, not sure I've seen it in Spybot either
    but given what it turns up sometimes, it makes cautious!
