You mean we'll hoover him up JJ - LOL
Socs - yes, that was what I hoped Hilary realised, when she said she
had a firewall, as I know we got spydeleter (a really horrible thing!)
from either a music or games download and as you say it was within the
programme and ran once it was run on the computer.
Opto - how did you get on with the black bean sauce??

Socs,
Re the Spyware and Adware programmes, there was a thread on the pay-per-view about it ages ago. As I recall, Kayak suggested that a lot of the stuff that these programmes picked up was harmless. I did install it at the time and was inclined to agree.
Unless it is from a source that I know, I won't download anything onto either my trading station or my laptop. This pretty much restricts my downloads to csv data files.
The kazaa is for my 12 year old son's machine. I'm not too bothered about other people looking at his porn stash, but I was concerned that somebody might be able to snoop across the network and look at my machines. That said, my 10 year old daughter is a law unto herself. I daren't even look on her machine for fear of what I might find. Last time I looked, I was confronted by a cursor in the shape of a love heart and attacked by Kat and Alfie dancing across the screen.

All these bloody spies, trojans, worms and suchlike. Make you scared to even turn your PC on.

Bunny the black bean sauce was just OK, I will have it again but it will never be my favourite. Worth trying.

I agree that quite a lot is harmless, but quite a lot isn't and can be sending all sorts of mined data about your PC usage to whoever plants the software. You certainly will be at risk if other machines on your network ar not as well protected as you.
Just for info, my Ad-aware 6 finds between 5 and 30 items per day and that is with BlackIce firewall, WIndows XP firewall and Norton anti-virus.

dd,
Thank you for the help earlier, according to techies it's my bloody e-mail that's screwed, not receiving from anywhere apparently, so never did get your messages, though site logs said they were despatched ok!

To be honest hilary, if I had kids using computers I'd fill up on virus checkers, firewalls, and adware removers etc. You can guarantee that half the things their mates tell them to download will come with little presents.
Was that stockbunny I saw behind the bar?
