mmkay just get AdAware and Spybot S&D...spybot gets the humANGous files while AdAware gets the thousands of little poser spywares.

Also, get ZoneAlarm for a good firewall.
Also, get a router for hardware protection...i forgot which i have.
Also, get AVG because it's the best FREE anti-virus you can have. It's the best because it uses the least amount of resources....Norton uses so much....Well, if you have a lot of RAM that shouldn't matter wink.gif

Spybot im sure doesn't come with anything on it... that's why i also use Ad-Aware...

Spyboy is better tho... i'll use Ad-Aware first and then Spybot and i will find all these stuff..

.edit//the two anti-spyware programs filter different spywares...Everytime i run spybot S&D first i still catch around 20 in adaware...

.edit[2]//If you want a good popup filter get the google toolbar...just go google it tongue.gif it adds the google toolbar at top, which filters popups and you can turn the popup filter off for certain sites if you want. Also, instead of going to google.com to google stuff it comes with a built in search bar.

firefox...well, its good but i cant seem to log in an ftp through the address bar, and i'm too lazy to use "cuteftp" or whatever software to log in one...just wanna type in the ftp quickly. also...some sites won't function properly under firefox.

.edit[3]//you must learn how to configure firefox. It's way better than internet explorer if you learn how to configure it. here is tutorial...or actually, configuration options you can do.

P.S The icon is also much more stylish than IE also.

i'm too lazy to look for it actually. Go learn yourself tongue.gif

Here are some other review links though, to Maximumpc.com, the best PC magazine ever.
