Some people really gotta know what has anything to be done for your computer to get those spyware and all !

for once, let me clarify this...

NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO YOUR MACHINE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION !

this is a basic rule for computer, you must accept the file for it to be dangerous !
if you come to a web site and click yes to every sungle thing just because you want to open correctly, then and only then are you sure to install things you really don't want to install !

example...
going into a web site, it ask me if i want to install the XXX SEARCH BAR, otherwise the web site will not open !
guess what... i said no to that and it opens anyway, why because that tool bar is nothing more then a publicity thing !

so again, if ya got anything openning up for no reason, that is because you accepted something on your computer !

that's the way all virus are !

WORMS = sent by email, activated when you actually open the email.
TROJAN = sent thru any file sharing programs, activated only when you open the program.
HOAX VIRUS = sent by by any fashion possible, activated by your mind ! :colgate:

see all things starts by you accepting something.
i rarely ever get anything, spyware wise or any other things, i don't have any anti-virus nor do i have any special protection against anything. it is called READING CAREFULLY !

read what is hapenning, even tho you think you know, read it carefully and see how many things you will not need anymore !

the only thing that can be downloaded (not installed, just downloaded) are cookies, and the web sites themselves. which in themselves, in cache, do not do anything to your machine !

there is no way for a web site to make you run without your notice any programs all by itself, there is no way, unless you gave them access to your machine !

so again, yeah those solution are great if you were struck by anything... but remember a website cannot do any harm to you without you accepting anything !

best thing to do...
WHEN A POPUP APPEARS, READ IT, AND RE-READ IT CAREFULLY !

this way you are sure not to open anything wrong !
if you don't know the thing, just don't accept it, if you know the thing, then do as you please !

** ULTIMATE SOLUTION TO VIRUS **
it is a simple command, yet it is very hard for so many reasons, mainly because after it there is nothing on your hard drive !

the command is called FORMAT
no virus can survive a FULL HD FORMAT !
don't tell me MEMORY, it cannot because it takes around 15 seconds after the computer been turned off for the memory to to be completely emptyed and shut off !

so no, the only way a virus has to keep going is thru BIOS BATTERY, which is READ ONLY, it cannot be modified fromt he original configuration. and the HARD DRIVE which was formatted, so no virus can survive this !

this tho, kills the machine itself !
so you'll have to re-install everything from the very start !
