WHO RUNS this place?? seriously, i have a computer question

[thesightless]

Re: WHO RUNS this place?? seriously, i have a computer quest

Webroot's Spysweeper is the best out there. If you don't believe me, visit a bunch of porn sites, then run AdAware, Spybot, all that crap, then run Spysweeper...and notice how much the other ones missed. It's all i use, and i've not had any spyware problems with my new computer. Plus, might be a good idea to stop visiting the german pee porn sites you weirdo.

you beat me to it. When I started the post nothing was there, but a coworker asked me a question and delayed the actual post.

Have your tried it the other way around? I do this stuff all day long and I get the best results when I use all three. A good pop up blocker goes a long way towards preventing it in the frist place?

try "spybot - search and destroy" works pretty good and it's free. get it at www.downloads.com.

I don't get all that on my lowly Mac.
