Here's a quick guide to removing spyware/viruses and safely securing your PC.You can do a quick online check whether you have any spyware installed on your PC by visiting this url: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/

Please see this page if you want more info on spyware: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

or just format your harddrive every few months

(I would suggest the free firewall at sygate instead of the built-in firewall of Microsoft)

haven't tried the built-in firewall

what is a firewall?

it's a thingie that makes sure no connection in gets in unnoticed (against hackers) and also out if you don't agree with it

i downloaded the sygate thing
its great
except my port gets logged alot....annoying

lol

I prefer this method...
not a single of the links works for me properly either the page isn't available or the download fails at 100% or the sites don't like Netscape
And the firewall I already have also causes more problems than it solves...

sounds like you're buggered

The built in one on my PC seems to do nothing at all

exactly

Thanks for that Raz.

I used AdAware spyware however it didnt remove them all, so i downloaded Bazooka. Its excellent at detecting regestry kays, but you have to remove them all manualy.

that's not very hard

I never said it was, but doesnt do it automaticly like Search and Destroy and AdAware.

true

Thanks a billion Raz!!!!

The first one is downloading now and I'm going to get the rest after.

Do firewalls prevent file transfers via msn?

Here's an idea, stop downloading porn. That will make your PC alot safer.

Yes, but it depends on the Firewall.

If you use the Sygate firewall, it'll automatically allow the transfer.

i think clispin could really use this

she is terrible for getting virus'!!
