Q: ive heard this too. but it did not apply specifically to ad-aware or spybot it was to lesser know products that sounded like these products. so far our it department hasnt had issues with these two products. could be a urban legend or just slander in order to discredit these products and convince you to switch to another product. but one would think that if you where to run a competing product to spybot or ad-aware would it not detect the others spy or ad virus. further if you where running a firewall zonealarm for example would it not detect unauthorized access to the internet. just my thoughts now i gotta go outside and paint the exhuast manifolds on my truck. high sierra wrote generally when you install a new program specially a download you have either given permission for the program to open a port to use or it asked you and you said yes. they are sneaky bastards. go out to the home and garden web site and look at the million dollar house they are giving away in tyler texas. itll ask you to register for the free drawing...when you do youll get 50 emails by morning from all the world and your adware zone alarm and everything else wont catch it. my wife does this every night. i finally just blocked their ip address but thats easily changed too. i can change mine in about 4 seconds. -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- of course when you register to win and use your email address you just gave them the opportunity to send you stuff. spam worms and viruses are different from each other. ad-aware and zone alarm arent gonna touch any spam as they were not designed to at least the free version. if you want a good free spam blocker try k9 from keirnet. its the best imho. if you are worried about open ports try scanning your system with something like slow port scan from www.dslreports.com click security in the left column. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

i am thinking about installing nerf bars on my 05 3500 4 x 4. evidently the vertical body mount bolts must be removed in order to bolt them on. there is no way to get to the nut if it exists; am i correct in assuming that this nut is fused to the body above does anyone have experience installing these things i dont know if the nut is accessable or not as i didnt need to access anything but the bolt. i put on westins platinum series chrome over stainless last year. easy install and looks great on my 03 2500 qc ho 4wd lb. iirc about $350 or so. -- fmb only one b in fmb .
