I added Prevx

to my toolbox and it has stopped several hundred attempted intrusions. The price is right: free.

I run Pivx's Qwik Fix. It actually hardens Windows at the source by shutting down known vulnerabilities. http://www.pivx.com

I have ActiveX turned off, never click on any kind of popup that makes it though my Norton supression settings (I always kill IE using CTRL-ALT-DEL when that happens), never install shareware that I haven't checked out for spyware problems and regularly update the latest MS security patches. Isn't that enough to stop spyware from installing on my system? If not, why not?
