Obviously spam, but AdAware actually isn’t half bad.

Spybot is quite nice as well – I also just picked up something called Esafe
thanks to that new worm going around but I’m not sure how useful it is yet –
any input?

Firefox is definitely superior to Explorer as a browser, but I find I can’t
open up any links or pictures until the ENTIRE page has loaded – any
suggestions?

With that new worm going around and so many options for free and paid cyber
defences out there, I don’t think it’s a bad thing, especially since a good
number of problems come from sites like yahoo groups.
