Spyware, adware removal tools

Removing spyware can be a time consuming and tricky task as spyware becomes more and more advanced. Fortunately there are a number of Windows tools that are available to help identify and remove spyware, adware, and other malicious code. Here is a list of my personal favourites, which are my favourites because they are free. These are Spybot Search & Destroy and HijackThis. There are also many commercial alternatives which include Ad-Aware and Microsoft's Windows AntiSpyware beta.

Mailto function

After doing some investigation I found that you can actually cc and bcc mail recipients using the simple HTML mailto function. This can be done by using the following syntax mailto:test@test.com?cc=test@test.com?bcc=test@test.com?subject=This is a test subject. This is something that might be useful to some people as I always believed that you could only use the to field and that the cc and bcc were not able to be accessed.
