Great Post!

As a newbie I was aghast to discover after downloading and running your suggested programs: Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy that my box was infected with over 350 forms of spyware and malicious cookies. I feel so violated :eek:

I've been on line, wired and working on the Internet forever; run Antivirus, Firewall, Zone Alarm.....everything I could think of yet I had neglected to change my browser settings to not accept cookies.

Anyway, thank all of you tech guru's for the info...............these tools and the knowledge are a necessity today. Now I just need to tear myself away from this website and get some work done........................Thank you again!!!

What about a HJT tutorial?

Maybe a Spybot tutorial?

Throw in an Adaware tutorial?

A browser hardening tutorial..

And last, a home network security tutorial?

I dont see a mention of WinPatrol,how bout that?and since Norton's 2004 seems to be have been recommended,so I assume that's the best AV out atm?

Thanks for the links groovicus. Too bad I have to spread my points around :cool:
