Subject: Re: Really OT: More on spy/adware problems
I'm going through the same thing with my daughter's IBM clone. It's bloody
frustrating. The only answer I know is to get a Mac. I don't think you have
anywhere near the problems with a Mac. I know that I have no problems with my Mac.
But my daughter says she has so much on her computer that she could not
imagine changing machines, so I keep running spybot and ad aware trying to stay on
top of this adware.....
Put those programs into your scheduled tasks, get a router, learn what processes should be running so you can see if anything running in task manager shouldn't be, and watch what you download.
The problem I am finding is that I now have so many security routines running in the background that my machine is slower than I would like because of the background programs.
