Unfortunately, I'm not expert enough to do all that myself. I just run 3 spyware removers & hope that does the trick. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I had to pay a repairman $60 to fix it once. The spyware was so thick I couldn't even get my spyware removers to update themselves. I think these spyware programs must have ways to sabotage the removers.

They need to do something to shut these guys down, or at least make it more difficult for them.

You can greatly reduce the amount of spyware that you unknowingly pick up as you surf the web by using a browser that's more secure (not totally secure) than Internet Explorer and using a software firewall.

You still need to run the anti-spyware programs on a regular basis, but you'll see a great reduction in the spyware that you must delete.

A highly rated browser is Firefox. Easy to download and install, and it will automatically import all of your Favorites or Bookmarks from IE. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

ZoneAlarm is a highly rated firewall. http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp

The browser and firewall are both free.

I agree. It's a form of both espianage and sabotage.
