Even though I have read about spybot somewhere, I'm not keen on using it in
part because its not got a brand name as big as linux or, dare I say it,
windoze - I'm more likely to take a chance on my linux box installing
something since the overall mood so far seen in Linux has been good natured
unlike windoze software which can have spyware of some sorts.
I'm going to try ethereal though... though failing that, I'll just rebuild
my laptop as its my main development machine (though I have daily
backups)... its just... rebuilding the laptaop, a 266mhz with WinMe,
updates, anti-virus and then Macromedia products and OpenOffice.org can take
several hours which is a pain. I wish my laptop was big enough for WINE as
I could always then just take an image of my setup which I could restore
faster if I ever encoutered problems.
anyway... thanks for all the help.
