One thing I can truthfully say Ima D is that I have NEVER gotten a virus! I'm well protected against them. I never open an email from someone I don't know especially with an attachment and do not download stuff from websites I do not trust!
The way I look at it Borfast... I am a newbie!! LOL I see some of the discussions about different things here and I'm totally lost.. Like with Perl, PHP, etc... Now talk about something like PSP [Paint Shop Pro] and that's another story!!
I don't have that problem anymore. I use Avant Browser which has a pop up stopper built in which also seems to have stopped just about all of those spyware problems. I also use Zone Alarm [free version] to stop any intrusions .. set on high. I have Nortons and AVG for virus protection. I think... [the operative word is think] I'm pretty safe now LOL
Exactly.. and I don't need someone to follow me around the internet telling people where I've been.. LOL It's my business what sites I see.. no one elses!
I did because of the fact that going to some websites automatically download undesirable programs onto my computer that go and change my home page and install search bars to my browser. I had one that I could not uninstall until I downloaded SpyBot Search and Destroy. I just do not want anything like that to ever happen again. I don't want someone else controlling what is on my computer...
