Thumbs up

The two I use. Both will also take out Trojans. For daily use I use SUPER and once a week I use the heavy hitter, Spybot to get rid of anything SUPER missed.

SUPERAntispSpyware free edition:

Spybot Seach and Destroy:
http://www.download.com/Spybot-Sear...4-10122137.html

Be very careful of clones with very similar sounding names to Spybot Search and Destroy, so download from above only.

Thanks for that Crash.


JoeF - Oh, so you're just in need of a good internet browser (ie one that views all the pages IE can), Microsoft Office (I know Mac runs it, but it runs it like a turtle runs a marathon) and pretty much everything else a computer user needs. But that's OK, Macs are so great, because you can't get viruses on them. How great they must be....why would anyone put a virus on a machine that's useless anyhow?

Macs can't be beat for graphics work, but I'll take the upgradeable hardware versatility of a Microsoft based machines any day. XP is a great OS and easily defended with free software and a bit of common sense.
Mac's are way over-priced for what you get and apart from their notebooks, ugly as sin.

Vista is the slowest most power hungry OS ever released [forget it for gaming]. I'd like to run a duel boot XP / Linux OS, if Linux ever gets a [genuinely] user friendly version together.
