Too All:

Since upgrading my ZoneAlarm (I've been using it for about 2 years), I have
suddenly been hit by several progs (all MS) asking permission to access the
internet. No new spyware shows up in Adaware 6.

For identifying and reducing unnecessary startup apps, I use the list
provided by Packman's Portal:

http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup...artup_full.htm

Is there a similar such list for identifying spyware apps or at least a list
that will tell me with these MS apps are and what they are doing?

Thanks,

Steve

PS, If you are not yet familiar with the Packman's Portal's startup list,
it is a useful resource
