3. Norton and McAfee won't
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 07:46 PM by RatTerrier
The firewalls don't even stop them.

Go to CNET and look up two programs: AdAware and Spybot. Or do a Google search.

More than likely, you will have at least some spyware on your system, whether it be harmless (tracking cookies) to just plain nasty (TopText, Cydoor, Bonzi, etc.). Th nasty stuff bogs down your system and might direct you to some funny web pages. They may even act like viruses.

Use both programs. One detects stuff the other doesn't and vice-versa). The result? You should be rid of spyware.
