That's the part that I keep trying to 'splain to my friends who like to
surf around insecurely and use spyware cleaners 'periodically'.  That
infest/ de-infest/ cycle is potentially very destabilizing.  My idea is
that they shouldn't /have/ to use spyware cleaners;  that their
configuration and behavior should make it 'unnecessary'.

Not that they /shouldn't/ use the antispyware;  but that the cleaning
shouldn't be 'productive' of infestations, ie they shouldn't be
deinfesting, just checking and finding themselves clean.
