Re-investigate Windows firewall is on the "to-do" list. (does anyone have two firewalls running?) AVG "free" anti-virus. Ad-Aware. Spyware Doctor. It's not just a case of what security software we have installed though is it? It is also important how and when we run checks as well I believe. Currently I run security scans at least once a week. Then about once a month I do a complete "health check" To do this I turn off System Restore and set my Virtual Memory to almost nothing. Then I reboot and scan with all the above software for nasties. Then I Defrag all my drives. Once that is done I reset System Restore and my Virtual Memory. I also use IE 7, the new one, but only for updates, Foxy is my usual browser. I also use Abexo reg cleaner from time to time as well. I have another plan though.... I think, If I get enough parts to make another half decent computer, I am going to unplug my "big" ;) usual computer from the net all together and only use the spare one for perusing the internet. Perhaps I may even use the laptop instead but my eyes don't really like laptops. This way I can keep my beautiful big baby protected, and it runs so much smoother when not connected to the net.
