Never had a virus or spyware before, been using computers 10 years.
I use Norton internet security and my browser is IE6.

I really don’t see what the deal is with viruses etc, I can only imagine you have to be stupid to get them.
The 3 golden rules are:

- Never open emails from people you don’t know.
- Always install the latest service packs and windows updates.
- Avoid warez and porn sites.

Norton is inadequate.

F-Secure sucks, bigtime! But it is free for Telia customers!

I use Firefox, Thunderbird, Avast AV, Zonealarm free version, Spybot, Ad-aware & CCleaner and never have a problem. Micro$oft sucks.

Ad-Aware + SpyBot S&D are a "very" potent combo as each has strengths at the others weakness. On top of that both are free and updated often.

Or you could just use a Mac for day to day shit, and a PC to play games on. Jeez, wind0ze is a train wreak. Now let the flames begin. But the fact still remains, my Macs never let me down and my PC needs to be babied worse than my sisters kids.

EWIDO really does kick ass. I was so bogged down with crap that the internet just wouldn't work. Then I cam across Ewido, and when that little bastard went to work, it killed every single POS virus on my system, and I was back in business!

Sounds like a good prog. And windows only sucks if you cannot proporly ultilize it.

EWIDO is very very good...I recommend it to all as well.

Gotta be careful with some virus proggies tho...Kaspersky is good but it was giving me a serious SYSTEM error....that XP recovers from by the way... but still.

Anyone recommend a good OUTLOOK EXPRESS anti-spammer?

thanks

I never did like Norton's....any program that IMBEDS itself into your operating system is total horsecrap!!!

It seems that, the spyware is built into the SF instal... I haven't figured our what it is, but, I get rid of it, and still have no problems...

Spyware in the SF install? Did you DL it from somewhere?

I have run multiple scans and there is nothing on the SF disk.

I built a seperate PC up just for office work and surfing the net, Built a 1ghz P3 system with 256mb RAM with parts from ebay for £47 (about $60), coupled with an old monitor and running Xubuntu linux (downloaded free).

It runs JUST as fast as my BF2 pc online, and I never have to worry about Spyware, Viruses or other Malware as Linux is teflon coated and that shit justs slides off...
