===========

Clamav  for windows or  clamwin must be manually initiated as it does not
contain an on access real-time scanner.  So to address this problem I
installed SpyDLLRemover onto my Iron Key drive which can scan computer
memory explicitly identifying questionable  and dangerous spyware.

Observation of w6bar.dll:  You should know that while w6bar.dll was
operational it slowed down the computer and slowed down browser function to
glacial speeds to the point of halting and freezing at standard pages (such
as http://www.nyt.com/) never to move again  I got sick of it and ran
clamwin after noticing that avast itself was slowing down also; onlyh then
did I suspect that avast was not protecting my system as well as I thought.
 So I ran clamwin from my iron key; as you see clamwin had no trouble
finding it and removing it.
