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...

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

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.
