And get rid of anything that says "McAfee" or "Norton" and replace with better choices, I like AVG for anti-virus :)

Then run a spyware / adware scan. Ad-aware and / or spybot: Search and destroy. Kill any nasty's that have installed themself. Run Windows update, this make take several runs to get everything.

And if that all fails, get a Mac or install Linux ;)

Switching to Firefox was one of the best things I ever did for my 'net browsing.

I agree with Kacey and jdinca... Firefox (and Thunderbird for email) is awesome!

Also, Andrew and I run the same software for anti-virus... AVG is good... although I'm still pissed that they're 86'ing the free version... oh, well!

Spybot Search & Destroy and ad-aware are also good...

I use AVG, Spybot S&D, Adware, ZoneAlarm, and browse on Firefox.

Using firefox and choosing another AV product the mcaffee/norton is a very good start indeed :)
Also , try Hitman it kills allmost all spy- and other *beep*ware but also prevents new coming onto your system :)

The free AVG is still around, they just don't make it as easy to get to. Hope this link works for you if you are interested

I'm d/l it now because my old AVG 7.1 expired and a box popped up saying I'm no longer protected.
