spybot search and destroy or other should help

I highly recommend Spyware Doctor over and above anything... it hasn't let me down yet! :tu:

i hav ad aware to get rid of them. AVG is a pile of turds, maybe i should invest in something decent. Is McAfee 2007 any good?

Try microsoft update.
I have no protection and even protected when looking at the porn.
No crashes for over a year.

I've always used Symantec anti virus software with good results...
Only time i got a virus was when the last edition expired..

helbus - December 23rd, 2006 at 06:21 PM

I use AVG Free as recommended by friends that work at IBM. No problems here for many many years.

frenzix - December 23rd, 2006 at 06:51 PM

4 simple things. AVG Free, like helbus said, Zonealarm Free, Spyware Dr like the schmobugger said, and keep windows updated..along with all those programs. If you do that then you can't go too wrong.

helbus - December 23rd, 2006 at 07:13 PM

Eggsactly. AVG Free, Zonealarm Free, Spyware Dr. I have all of these, and only these, all free online.

is this the time to ask Santa for a Mac and never worry about it again...Zone Alarm...and make sure you install and get it running before you hook up the modem. You can also try a start up manager from CNET for FREE - handy to disable things that like to run when you start up and never notice.
