2. Download Spybot Search and Destroy. Update it completely, and then run the Immunize feature. It will patch IE (not directly, but in short) so that malicious ActiveX scripts regonized by other people that use Spybot, are not even allowed to popup. The origonal product comes with 500 types of activex menus it disables, thus allowing a greater amount of security straight out of the box.
Yes I agree Spybot S&D is great, but by adding SpywareBlaster to it, you have a much more complete protection suit. SpywareBlaster works with Spybot S&D and prevent a lot if not most malicious malware from even being able to load into your computer. Once loaded and run it comsumes no resourses and like Spybot it is free.
