Just a note: If a few people use your computer and each has their own log in password, when you run LavaSoft program, you need to run it under each password. Example: Let’s say Katie and Molly have passwords on your computer. Log in as Katie and run Lava Soft. Then log out of Katie, and log in as Molly and “run
program again.” I’m sure, you’ll find additional spys under each log in name – just like I did last weekend when I cleaned and updated a friend’s computer.
