People who invent spyware are the devil's spawn

And I stand by that statement.

My computer runs as slow as my daughter on a Sunday morning. Sluggish and moody is a description that comes to mind.

I keep updating my virus definitions and removing all threats detected. I've removed Ezula I don't know how many times, but I know that I've still got spyware on my computer and it's pissing me off.

Finally, I had a brilliant idea that didn't involve wiping my hard drive clean and starting over.

I went to the Symantec website and navigated over to the spyware removal tool page, symantec.com, and started running each removal tool in alphabetical order. Although I started from Z and worked my way up to the beginning, just to be different (I'm one of those people who read magazines from the back to front. I'm sure that means something). And, not surprisingly, several of the tools found spyware and removed it for me.

I swear, if I ever run across a punk who admits to designing and launching spyware, I'm going to hang him/her up by their genitals or toes (if it's a girl) in the public square, smeared with honey and dog food, and leave them there with a large sign proclaiming that they are the scum of the earth.

And I won't cut them down when they cry like a little girl.
