| Re: Spyware FAQ and download list. Good idea for a sticky, I was starting to sound like a broken record in a lot of threads around here. People can avoid getting these problems to begin with if they show a little web-savy. You shouldnt be wandering around 'iffy' websites without a firewall up for starters, and always make sure Internet Explorer is updated fully to patch security holes, which are neither virii nor spyware, and so dont get stopped by any of these programs.
PestPatrol will remain on my webspace for the near future if anyone prefers to use it, I find it better than adaware and the rest. As an extra idea, people might want to check out a program such as Ace Utilities that scans your startup processes, and then compares them to online databases to advise you what is starting up that isnt needed or may be deeply rooted spyware.
