This list seems to go on and on doesnt it? What is everyone using lately. Right now I keep about 5 things installed and use one at a time when needed. The wares are really starting to get to me.

My last computer has AVG Free Edition, Spybot Search and & Destry and Ad-Aware.

I have no idea about my new one, which I got this morning, courtesy of royal mail sending it back from Northern Ireland, where it never should have gone in the first place. I have to check with my sister, because it used to be hers. Thanks for reminding me lol.

Don't need any of that stuff, my Imac does it automatically. I used to have to
wade through all that with a PC I had, but I tossed that sucker many years ago.

Unintelligible!

spyware is a problem i seem have a lot. spybot worked well for getting rid of it but never blocking. webroot finder is far better.
