I'm getting really nervous about these. I often get pop ups and stuff despite having popups set to be blocked. Anyone know of any free software I can get to check and clean up my system?

I have Nortons Antivirus and a Firewall installed already. Help me techies.......

It really depends what sort of norton you have. If its updated, and the internet security version, then you're ok. If not, then you could still have spyware issues.

Norton or Symantec Antivirus, surprisingly, is only good against viruses. The internet security version has anti-spyware, firewall, etc all included as well.

I would recommend going to a free antivirus solution (AVG is good), a real time antispyware (like windows defender, free from microsoft) but more importantly....

switch to firefox!!! I was amazed before i used to get about 1-2 spyware every couple of months with internet explorer despite having antispyware, antivirus, and a firewall. Switching to firefox has brought that down to ZERO.

Check it out.

Thank you for your responses. I'm going to look into them now. That AVG sounds good.

Have now done this. Seems to have done the trick.

Thank you my brothers.

How does one go about switching to FireFox? Can someone provide a screen shot so I can see what it looks like!

Firefox: http://www.getfirefox.com

Just click download and install. Its a small web browser, that you can add tons of new features that you want (like automatic advertisement blocking).

It looks similar to IE6, except you can change themes (to make it look like whatever you want).

After I ran spybot I noticed the Ads started coming back again. Thsi happend whenever I open a newpage in IE. Guess I should move over to Firefox. Can I unistall IE5? or is it ok just to make Firefox my default browser?

Just installed Firefox, been using it on and off for that last few hours. Not a pop up in sight. Lets hope it stays that way!

Thanks everyone for your advice!!!
