Uh no, if you see the little red hand at the bottom left corner of every post that says "Block" on it...

I think she did the right thing. Rather than snap back at her, she made use of a board function and bit her tongue. Good for her.

Except that she didn't. She's claimed to have had her blocked for quite a while now but still gets her knickers all twisted every time LA posts. I wonder how that could be if she's been blocked as claimed? Curious, isn't it?

She answers most of your questions and that's how you answer her? What an ingrate. No wonder you get bitchslapped so often.

Ok cany sweet,

Regardig spyware and other malevolent items like keyloggers. First get you arse to the Lavasoft site (I think www.lavasoft.com) and get twp free programs. The first is called "Ad-Aware SE Personal" This version is free and when i first put it on the puter it found 800 adware, malware and keyloggers in the fiorst 14 days. it was easy to quarantine and then remove them and block them for the future. I'd run it daily including the updates. The other program which is also free is SpywareBlaster from Lavasoft as well. this program will deal with the active-X programs which may be unauthorised and are used to dump links on your puter. (I have over 60 porn sites one night which this program got rid of for me.)

Ad-Aware is very good, but do not rely on it exclusively. As part of My strategy when I treat infected computers I use a few different programs to search for and delete infections. My consistent findings is that Ad-Aware finds things that Spybot misses, for example, yet Spybot picks up several things that Ad-Aware misses.

What I am saying, then, is to truly deal with the problem you need a multi-pronged approach. I find that Ewido scan is far superior to Ad-Aware, so I now use Ewido, Spybot (and especially the active protection portion) and MS Antispyware Beta. For virii, I use the Panda Activescan and Trend Micro Housecall. For hijacks, I use HijackThis. For all the Cool Web Search variants I use CWShredder, available from Trend Micro.

Needless to say, nothing gets past Me, and I can safely offer a warranty with My service as I leave tools behind to protect them from reinfection.
