FunWebSearch alert

I was browsing through my server logs, and noticed that somebody's browser here has FunWebProducts appended to their useragent tag. That's a pretty well-known piece of adware/spyware.

If you're surfing with Internet Explorer, and you don't run a spybot scanner like Spybot S&D or AdAware, please do so for the sake of your privacy.

I ran S&D when i first got MYWEBSEARCH, and it is not doing anything at the moment, is there a time delay to it?

To Spybot S&D? No. You have to run the program, update it (it's under the options dialog IIRC), and then start a scan. A full scan takes about ten minutes.

No, the Websearchy thingybob, it found about five diffrent things, but none of them were like that which is mentioned in the article
