Spyware and adware should be ilegal. If it already is then it should be inforced.

I always run both antivirus software (AVG) and anti ad software (ad aware) my comp takes a little hit in performance but nothing noticable in daily use, only on benchmarks and even if it did I think it may be worth the small sacrifice to save me the hassle of editing registries.

I use Mcaffe virus scan 2004 and it has done a MUCH better job than norton and I also use spybot for finding spyware because Mcaffe is no good at that

It is easier to hate than it is to love.

It must be realized no matter what program you use there will always be more spyware or something hiding that is more advanced or newer that can\'t be picked up...so just keep updating cleaners try new things and hopefully your computer can hang on until the day where harmful programs will be destroyed for good...that day will never come so keep updating :)

You never know Depthblade, maybe when the sun goes super nova(is that what is going to happen, I forget) then the programs may just be destroyed :P

Well first the sun will expand burning the earth to a crisp, then the earth will be engulfed in the giant expanding sun, then it will go nova. :)

meh first your signature is wy to big wise and it sucks ^^ Secondly stay the hell away from Zone Alarm it doesn\'t do crap all basicly is just another firewall that gets in the way asking for permission for everything when your busy trying to do stuff! Actually I would say that about most firewalls USELESS, if people actually want to get into your computer no firewall is going to stop them!

The new windows beta one is actually pretty good, even though it is microsoft, but swallow your pride and go download it (\'cause it\'s free :D ) It is excellent, and has a cool theme based on windows longhorn.

Edit: spyware remover that is, and the xp sp2 firewall is pretty good too, because they ripped a lot of the features from iptables :D personally I use linux, so I have no problems at all with spyware and adware :P
