Hi Tom The only *certain* way to keep spyware/ adware/ malware off your system is not to go surfing the web "the off button". But we all have a touch of the Beechboys in us <grin>, so one free and easy way to reduce the odds of infection dramatically is to use Mozilla Firefox as your browser instead of IE. A new and improved version of Firefox is due to be released shortly I think.
There was a very good and detailed post on this list by Charles James on 05 Dec 05, which was a reply to Steven so I don't really understand why Steven asks virtually the same question again? Charles mentioned using Mozilla Thunderbird instead of OE but I think he didn't mention using Firefox instead of IE. One IE common offender found by Spybot/ Adaware are tracking cookies, you can of course block all cookies in IE Tools>Internet Options>Privacy and either increase your security level by using the sliding control or click on Advanced and select Override Automatic Cookie handling and set both settings to block all cookies. However, there will be some sites you can not visit or will have problems with because you have chosen to block all cookies HTH Rupert O^O--------------- Rupert's Reply To ---------------O^O I, too, didn't know what your response meant. Can you please clarify?? Thanks Avast ye land lubbers! One bear and no pirates found in this outbound vessel --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
