Worried about spyware

geoska · 06-20-2007, 10:21 PM

Basically im using Ad-Watch Ad-Aware and Firefox. Im pretty cautious with surfing the web. Can someone tell me if it is easy or not to totally avoid spyware taking these precautions.

Thankyou very much.

I'd throw a few more programs on there like Spyware Blaster, SpyBot Search & Destroy, SpyCatcher and SpyDoctor. I feel like the more protection I have... the better

After each browsing session, I also use Ccleaner an WindowsWasher.

I think I have a clean system and I visit the seedy side of the web quite often.

The better Anti-virus gets, the better virus will get to bypass those programs. It's as simple as this, as long as you update your anti-"malware" programs, you'll be fine but there is always some chances of getting that brand new malware not yet recognized by anti-malwares.
