That's be about 3 minutes of browsing by a lot of the users out there. :(

I just had to delouse a Win98 PC of one of the bosses around here -- took
me 4 hours, and none of the anti-spyware stuff could do the job itself. 
The newest spy stuff has something that makes them cough when trying to
delete stuff. I had to do some of the removal manually, then use Adaware,
then spybot.
