was delivered to me, it was custom built and a spy wear named "a -squared" was already installed on the computer. It now has to be re installed, and I wonder if there is a better one I should consider. It does not have to be free, since most of these programs are usually under thirty dollars a year, aren't they? Right now, I have nod 32, the anti virus program, but no spy wear at all for about two months. I have heard mention of spybot search and Destroy, and wonder what you all thinkof this in terms of accessibility and effectiveness. . I know it is compatible with Nod 32. Welcome any advice.
