I'm with you on that Lil there should be as much attention paid to outlawing spyware as there is to spam.

A program I use to get rid of it is called "Spybot" that you can get free online - sorry I don't have the url to hand. Another is "Spywareblaster" and you can get this from:

www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html

it also has free updates to keep up with the spyware.

But even with that you can still get fucked. Every time I think it's gone, the bitch is back. It would be ok but I do a lot of banking and shopping online.

Either a particular website you go to or something you download is reinfecting your system Lil

I just spy botted my puter (2 weeks old) and got 150 spyware off it and am now innoculated against most

Though there are some that i know are on here...1 is preinstalled by Compaq....and the other is on a program i want to use...if i get rid of the spy the program refuses to work *L*

But i can live with 2.....neither are password grabbers or key loggers

Porn sites are bad for spyware....also sites for desktop themes (screensavers, skins etc)

Cant say i've seen many appear after using Hotmail...but i just may be lucky

I have been using AdAware for about a year, and cuts way down on my spam. I run it twice a week, and it is free...
