I think some of you are being a bit harsh on Bush. Yeah, go ahead and tax parents with over two kids. That would really help things...NOT!! Then we will have a shrinking young population and a large elderly base and guess who taxes will go sky high? The young supporting all the old. It is hard enough to raise kids, don't make it any harder. People are having less children in general. In some parts of Europe they are having negative population growth, which isn't good for their long term economy. As far as the SUVs, that is one thing I do agree with the environmentalists about. They are wasteful, esp when you see a single person driving them. Just wait till we have an oil shortage. But the avg American must really like them, I think we are in teh minority, because look at the sales of them. They are everywhere!! I do agree Americans could do a much better job at conservation. I turn off my sprinkler system when it rains whereas a lot of people don't do that. I turn off the A/C when it gets cool enough to open windows. I buy drought tolerant plants. I turn off the lights when I leave the room. I have sedans rather than big SUVs. I think we are royally spoiled too. But this has been going on a long time, more time than Bush has been in office. Also, keep in mind, that environmentalist will criticize Bush no matter what he does. Also, I am not even sure I believe some of the things the environmentalist say. I have heard that some of it is false and not true. I listened to a radio talk show and they had a Danish professor on it who used to be a member of all the big environmental groups and he set out to disprove the conservative viewpoints nad was unable. Found out that a lot of the environmentalist thoughts were wrong and false. I think sometimes, they are scare tactics. Remember, droughts have been around forever an so have floods and terrible storms...................

invasive??? I want spyware to do it's job, have np's with it, anytime you are on the web, whatever site you go to including this one spyware/cookies is loading into your PC,and all this does is slow down your PC...don't know bout you but I want rid of it ASAP...and Ad Aware was too slow for me....

There's a newer version of AdAware now. SE Personal has been discontinued and the web update no longer functions... you can still manually down load the update Definitions file , unzip it and copy it to the AdAware folder to overwrite the Definitions file. Or just uninstall the SE version and install the newer free version. Which may be the better choice.

Below are the 2 links grandms suggested for you. Please get an anti virus program installed sudden like, then instantly look for updated definitions followed by a full scan to give you peace of mind. Why are you concerned about what nasties AdAware finds? Surely it is better to accept that it is doing an excellent job - as long as you look for updates often and runs scans. Simply click to have them removed, breath a sigh of relief and then enjoy other aspects of your computer. I could not find how many nasties AdAware protects against but just for interest here are some others Spybot Search & Destroy - 30,789 Spywareblaster - 8086 AVG anti malware - 877,760 and I run all 3 of those. I used to use AdAwareSE but when I upgraded to AdAware2007 I found it suddenly became a huge resource hog so I removed it. Rather than return to the SE version I went with the new AVG anti malware which previously was known as Ewido prior to AVG buying the company. Download AVG anti virus Download Avast anti virus
