Spyware Blaster is a pretty cool tool to tackle spywares, try it. Spywares comes in all shapes and sizes, I always google before installing any suspicious softwares.

I would have thought that providing full feed would be as easy as going to your admin panel's Options > Reading > Syndication Feeds and selecting Full text, did you try that? Looking at iTotalFind's ads is totally annoying because not only does it display some nonsense text, it also causes your browser to hang! You definitely made a smart choice out of not installing Zango!

I'll keep on try periodically, but i've asked other bloggers and its not working, so don't keep your hopes up! I had a similar issue with zango. a favorite site of mine that had the wordss "watch futurama online" strung together in the URL suddenly insisted that I install zango inorder to access the site. I completely refused to be coerced into installing crap and decided my days of watching futurama are over! but on the flip side, if you see adsense or other ads, does it really make a difference?

I recently saw a post about how you can use a fake virus to see if your virus software is working correctly. You've just reminded me to go find that article again.
