Isn't Ad-Aware 08 anti-spyware?

AVG is antivirus, but it's pretty good. Windows defender isn't bad. Spybot works well too.

If you can get your hands on the July edition of Consumer Reports (try the library) they did and outstanding review of products to make online computing safe. Many of the pics were free.

Wink we use free Avast...
It has been great. Each year you have to update it, and get a new code #, but that is pretty easy too.

If you use Firefox 3.0...you will find it blocks alot of stuff too.
Our Spybot and AdAware do not find objects anymore, since we upgraded. We averaged 40/week.
