Frosty Jack Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 As well as Ad-Aware, you should run Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.htmlThen ditch Internet Explorer and run Firefox instead -http://www.mozilla.org/And Antivir is a good free antivirus - http://www.free-av.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
