All for zero cost. If you get a good grip on your hosts file too you will very very rarely be attacked by anything/anyone you cruise past on the net. If you also use your router's (or a free software one if you are on a modem) firewall properly no-one can force junk onto you. One of the biggest flaws in most people's security is in the "advanced", lol, options in IE like "enable install on demand" and "enable third party browser extensions" which, almost unbelievably, are on by default (!) If you catch something, or already have, google for "hijack this". It works - but a word of warning here. Get someone, from one of the many forums that will help, to interpret it's results as it does find all processes running on your computer and if you haphazardly remove them you will have a non-functioning machine pretty darn quickly (gulp) Hi,

Ad-aware misses things that these two seem to get, like rootkits. Spysweeper does lots of other things to help guard your system, Ad-aware doesn't.
