Re: Need some help with Windowz

Its interesting because I hardly ever use a browser on the PC side except to get the occasional CBOT video or get this spyware stuff. I downloaded that AVG free program and I can't believe the stuff it came up with. yikes!

This is free and excellent anti spyware application...I run this when windows starts as a resident program for protection.

This is a 2nd program I run every week or so...also free for spyware removal.

Often you need to run a few to catch all the critters.

Re: Need some help with Windowz

change to opera once you have everything fixed up
The only time I ever open IE is after I reinstall to download the latest opera version. Haven't had any popup or spyware issues in years.

James, If you haven't updated opera in awhile and don't have the speed dial, check out the newest version. This speed dial startup page thing totally rocks.
