I do mean anti spy ware. Thanks all for your info. I have done other research and this is what my conclusion is: 1. Run Norton for anti -virus (or another anti-virus software) 2. Load and SpyeBots (and update it) 3. Get Add Aware or another anti-add software. I also heard that Java's Cool Spy ware Blaster is excellent . A computer tech said with Norton, Spybots and Add Aware my computer would have a safe triangle. I'm also setting up my window restore and Norton Ghost. My family uses the computer too much to take a chance at loosing everything. Thanks!
