Thanks James,
I instaled software and had many file threats.  Still unsure if my info on my 
PC is safe.  I run AVG8.0, AntiSpyware software.  I also use Windows firewall 
but I noticed that remote assistant was an exception.  I unchecked this option 
in firewall.  Any other places that might be suspicious?

  Super Antispyware has a free version, and that's accessible with JAWS (I use 
it here frequently). You can't schedule scans with the free version, but most 
people don't need to anyway. http://www.superantispyware.com

  Hi All,

  I am using AVG 8.0, free version, for anti-virus.  

  I don't believe that includes spyware protection.

  Can anyone recommend spyware protection for an XP Home computer?

  Also, if any of you are using AVG 8.0, I'm having trouble scheduling the 
scans.  I'm using Jaws 10.
  Any suggestions?

  Thanks.

  Nancy
