(I copied it here from married life forum)

In addition to the combination of Anitvirus (Nod32)+ Firewall (zonelab)+Firefox(with popup blocker) that I already had, I installed Anti Adware/Spyware program (I never had it before). So I scanned our comp. and here is the scan report:
Scan Complete
Summary Of This Scan
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
Total scanning time:00:34:22.996
Objects scanned:239651
Objects identified:324
Objects ignored:0
New critical objects:324
shock

so I cleaned it .

This is a great program that I used:
Ad-Aware SE Personal
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

In addition to this I installed 2 more AntiSpyware/adware programs:

there is a great program available from Microsoft for free-
Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware
get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/athom......mspx

I scanned my comp again with this program and found more 'items'

It's important to protect your comps with 2 or more different AntiSpyware/Adware programs.

another good program is WinPatrol- http://www.winpatrol.com/winpatrol.html

this is just another reason to switch over to macintosh--- much, MUCH fewer issues with viruses than PC users experience.

Very Happy Indy

does anybody know anything about J-Net

they advertise as follows:

using exclusive multi-tiered filtration, the J Net portal is probably the most effective consumer resource for eliminating material not conducive to our needs. More than virtually foolproof, J Net is also easy - both to install and use. Plus, it's availalbe in both dialup and high speed DSL ..

Most impt. you can now get the JNet advantage for only a bit more than non-filtered on line providers.

If you're reading for the world wide web without the world wide worries, you're ready for J Net

toll free 1-866-866-JNET
