Current mood: blah

The morning's delay didn't completely wreck my schedule. I was able to go to my office hours in the afternoon as planned, pick up detergent and other sundries on Princess Street, have dinner here, and then go on do to my laundry and get some reading in.

Prompted by a recent post of [info]eclips1st, I downloaded Spysweeper from webroot.com. After I came back to the computer at the end of the afternoon, I was surprised to find more than 120 different programs and cookies taking up a quarter-gigabyte of hard drive space, just waiting to be deleted. So I did.

Spysweeper or Spybot

I use SpyBot myself, a freeware program I picked up right after I brought the laptop home. Apparently the techs found similar crap taking up hard drive space and suggested I use it.

Now, do you use the free version or the registered one? And how good is it overall? If you report good service and quick upgrades (which I can't get with the freeware) I may buy it myself when I can afford it...

I've downloaded Spybot; I'll run it afterwards.

As for the first program, all I can say is that it was effective and that it had a nice interface. I've no issues with it.
