I use McAffee Security Center, since I get it free from Comcast, but a nice free antivirus is: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html and a great free Anti-Spyware is MS Defender : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en The final IE7 is now available online and it includes improved phishing and trojan protection. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...s/default.mspx 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 ... Eisboch Glad to see it has solved the problem. |
