Hi Kb - 1) Load the free Firefox browser from Mozilla. You will have to select to add realplayer, adobe , etc. Much less (100:1) susceptible to attack than Micfrosoft's Internet explorer, works the same 99.8% of the time, especially oin major comercail sites. Use the firefox browser 99% of the time,except when you need to download software from microsoft. This REALLY cuts the attacks. 2) get Ad-aware from Lavasoft. This has to be paid for, but that means it gets updated about ever 6 weeks (or sooner) to keep up with new threats. Run the anti-spyware, then an anti-virus, then the anti-spyware again. Some spyware will turn off or short cycle your anti-virus software.... 3) Consider a hardware firewall.
