I used to have aol it sucked i always got a virus about everyone 1-3 months and it was super gey now i have dsl which is much better and faster than before and have Ad-Aware 6.0 Personal which is quite good cause i dont get anymore annoying pop-ups while playing sfo. which i used to get while being on aol. Unless they have made it better by now.. so getting Ad-Aware is good really helps ur comp out those Noton Anti virus buLLpoop is crap it does nutin but tell me there is a virus and does nothing about it an then i have look through websites and etc etc to take it out so those shyts that those ppl at best buy or wherever da Fudge you go is crap and just say u alrdy have them and then they'll leave you alone...

[quote:post_uid0="kester-"]spyware is usually just stuff that people trick you into downloading so they can advertize and make money.
you get it by downloading somthing kinda "shady".......anything....like kazaa... you get rid of it by downloading two programs: ca href="http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022 4-10308605.html?tag=pop" target=" blank">ad-awarec/a> and ca href="http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022 4-10289035.html?tag=pop" target=" blank">spybot search & destroyc/a> run them at least once a day, and always check for updates........that should keep your computer running smoothly[/quote] That's adware. Spyware is when you get "spied" on by stuff your browser downloads automatically when u go to certain sites. |
