You know what would be nice? A program with all what D2K suggested to us.
A program that is a virus scan, Firewall protection, Spyware and spybot protector, and so on.
Having all these programs can slow down your computer because most of them have a Startup when Windows Starts on the System tray.
Yeah they are handy programs and they do their job and it may be worth having them. But having them all seperated is a bit of a crap.
If they were all one program, we wouldnt have to suffer the problems of lots of programs starting up and your computer going slow to do so. |

they have them, but it seams that if you use an all-in-one protection... then it dont work worth crap. |

| Quoting D2k | There is nothing wrong with MSN... If you had people who are SMART and dont go to questionable websites and click every link they get VIA msn then you wouldn't be getting any viruses. On the other hand if you dont posess common sense when it comes to clicking links and browsing the net then you DESERVE to get a virus. 
MSN is safe when i used it. I have come close to getting a few viruses from... gullable relatives via messaging but i know a bad link when i see one also followed by perfect puncutiation when practally every i know on msn doesnt bother to say "Hey, check this out. [insert virus link here]" no hi, no explination to what the link is... Just a hey check this out.
Here is some tips on protecting your PC from virus attacks...
1. Get Mc Afee. NOT norton, norton sucks more balls than a, well nevermind lets not go there but im sure you get my point. NORTON SUCKS! Get it here.
if not then AVG is ok... i find that software questionable since it is free. Get it here
2. Get Adaware. Keep your PC clean from spyware and other harmful spyware / malware or whatever else scum you may pick up from questionable sites. Get it here.
3. Get spybot Search and destroy. This handy program gets rid of spybots. and other things adaware cannot clean up. also install the 'tea timer' thingie to prevent farther bots from boarding your PC. Get it here.
4. IF you tend to piss off the wrong people who intend to hack your pc, get Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm is a very powerful firewall for free that will block pretty much any incoming / outgoing well... anything. ts a bit too restrictive for my taste but it works. Get it here.
5. Stop downloading porno.
6. Stop going to "disgusting images / video websites (like rotten.com)
7. Stop going to places like myspace. Or any other 'booty scavenger hunt' websites. 
8. Stop trying to download warez apps (if you are then KNOW where to go before looking.)
9. Stop clicking popups in belief you actually won 1 million dollars, or believing you are actually the 1,000,000th lucky visitor to the website and you will get a fabulious prize. NO you wont actually win a xbox 360 if you punch out bin laden...
10. popups saying you have spyware and to "click here to help protect yourself from spyware" is a lie... THAT popup is indication you already have spyware on your PC and you better scan and get rid of it.
11. Popups that look like 'real windows popups' can be tricky if you are in a hurry to do something and are expecting an error or confirmation. LOOK before you click a button.
12. Hire hitmen to take out the gator corporation. Then when they are all dead to piss on their graves. (i know everyone here at one point in time was harassed by their spyware, it spreads faster than aids.)
13. Deposit money into my Pay Pal account.

i would like to add something to that
Webroots: Spy sweeper is a very good (not free) program to delete spyware...i think you can get a trial/free version somwhere..dont remember well
and webroots window washer : it cleans cookies, history, recycle bin, and all of that stuff...

you mean msn spaces ???? i did not ever had problems with that ???
_____________________________________________________________________
and well, i wasnt planning to get smiley central. my friend does i said it was spyware and things, he didnt believe me thats why i asked you guys. thanx.. 
| Quoting stupid goober that thinks he is cool if hes father owns a computer shop |
i dont see a problem with Norten. but let me say, Mc Afee has to be the worst virus protection ive ever seen
...
|
for first time in history i agree with you, Mc Afee $(_)cks
norton is a nice progam but not the best indeed...
EDIT: Window washer just got me 138 MB new space that WAS full of trash  |

Goober and Ghostkid... the 2 most people i think have a high probability rate of getting a virus (im guessing but i usually am right) both have 1 thing in common. They like norton... I rest my case

to put it simple, if you have good protection, and common sense ... you will not get pop-up, or anything bad. i haven't got a pop-up yet on the comp i built  . |

Isn't that kinda illegal?
I'm not talking about the hitman! |
