Now that you have removed the spyware, what antivirus/spyware software
have you installed to make sure you don't get it again?

I use McAffee Security Center, since I get it free from Comcast, but a
nice free antivirus is:

and a great free Anti-Spyware is MS Defender :

The final IE7 is now available online and it includes improved phishing
and trojan protection.

I enabled the full Spy Doctor real time monitoring. It seems to be doing
the job. I've been browsing around, trying to see if I still get popups and
so far there have not been any. The Spy Doctor window pops up for a second
every once in a while to announce that it just blocked a cookie.

I will probably let Microsoft update to the IE ver 7 automatically when it
wants to, but I think I am going to continue to use Firefox as a browser. I
didn't use it for a while because it was missing some plugins and for some
reason it could not load them automatically (Java Runtime Environment).
This caused some items not to work, including the Pagebuilder program I use
for the website. But somehow I was able to download it directly from the
Java site and it now works fine in Firefox as well as IE. Firefox seems
much more stable than IE. But ..... what do I know ...
