Accounts & spycans

Is it necessary to scan various user accounts separately for spyware (or
adware) or will one scan on an admin. accounts cover everything?

Hi Geoff,

Usually admin is sufficient, though I have encountered isolated cases where
things showed up in user mode that weren't detected in admin.

Unfortunately it's highly advisable to do so. At least half the time it
seems to turn up additional parasites. The key problem is references in
the user's registry hive. Sometimes the admin scan will remove the
referenced executable, but if not active at the time of the scan they may be
missed.
