what you need is a good firewall! (A router between the internet and your Pc will do the job just fine.

That and a genuine and up to date windows, and you're quitte safe. as long as you don't download anything bad that is.

That didn't pull it for me, unfortunately

Check out the Spywarewarrior forums. I don't remember their url, I've got it bookmarked on another computer that I don't have with me. But I found it through google They're awesome help there.

It's still free and nowhere mentioned that it won't.. The free vers. is just a basic. If you want all the extras, you'll need to buy it.

I believe it was the previous free version that will be unsupported from 2007. The 7.5 version willl still be free and supported.

Google free grisoft avg (since I'm not sure if I may post the direct link... ) and download the newest version of AVG.
It's an Upgrade and not an Update so you don't get in the regular download process. k:

Well, it said so in the program itself. But I guess you're right about the 7.5 version.

I don't use any antivirus. It's easier to confirm that they're gone if you do it manually.

But that requires a bit ore than the average knowledge on computers and, in Win, the registry. Now, the registry is a place I dare not go...
