Greetings, There are a number of good and bad utilities for securing your system against malware of all sorts. The simplest solution is to use the free ones first as they're not out to take your money - as are a number of dodgy ones! A lot of these use pop-ups to frighten the naive surfer into thinking they're infected and that they need to download the "recommended anti-malware application" - for a fee!! For a list of good and bad utilities, check out: Trustworthy Anti-Spyware Products Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Sites The first link also makes it quite clear which ones to use to protect your system. Apart from the free ones, you can also try out the trial downloads of the "Trustworthy" ones from the first link and, if satisfied with their performance, buy the product. ALWAYS check the "Rogue" list first BEFORE DOWNLOADING "Recommended" anti-malware applications! If you suspect your system is infected, this short article recommends the minimum needed to clean it: If Your PC is Infested w/ Spyware... Kindest regards, Dragan Glas (Castlecops.com)
