MBam only found one item. It was the shortcut on the dektop for the phony
security app. It was dead anyway. SAS found a couple hundred cookies.
That's normal.

Emsisoft did a good job even though it took forever. It updated the
definitions on the memory stick before it started. I think it scanned every

I can't cut it down except for the time involved. It was thorough.

Me and "retired" are the same person. It's a Schizophrenia thing :-)
