    I use for Virus Protection. It works awesome. I was using Nortons (blah!) but dumped it after Avast was recommended by so many members here. It's free, and updates itself. You're constantly protected, it's a great program.

    I'm not sure how you feel about Muckrosoft programs, but when my Best Friend fixed my computer the other night, he installed a program called "". It scans your computer for spyware and adware, as well as stops it from entering your computer altogether. So far, it's been working great! You can give that a shot. I was using Spybot and Ad-Aware, but he told me that the Muckrosoft program would do the job of both of those other two combined. It has a ton of features so you can download it and explore. The program also has a built-in Pop-Up blocker, so you don't have to worry about those anymore at all, unless you want to allow them from sites you frequent or whatever. You can configure it all to your needs.

    Hope that helps

    Definitely stick to Avast! It's free, truly auto-updating and awesome.

    To purge your system of spyware most effectively, download the free trial of Webroot's SpySweeper 3.5 and run it. Delete what it finds and stores in Quarantine.

    Then go and get yourself Firefox to keep your machine free of spyware.

    Eeep.. Glad we could help you out hon. My Best Friend broke it down for me the other day like this:

    "You don't even have to worry about viruses anymore if you have a good firewall up.. SPYWARE, ADWARE, MALWARE are the new "viruses", so now you have to make sure you have a good program to keep those fuckers out."

    LOL.. It's sad but very true though.

    Do you run any firewalls? If you need one, let me know. I can point you in the right direction, or even send you one.
