Help with stickies...

dahamsta

We seem to get more queries about diallers, spyware and hijackers than anything else. I'd like to do a sticky with information on it, but I don't really have time to gather the information. Anyone willing to do it? Or at the very least post information and links that I can gather up into a sticky?

Thanks,
adam
