i was reading about a very nasty time that someone was having with what i guess was "cool web search", where it was preventing the installation and running of "spywareblaster".. how do we try to prevent becoming infected with this type of stuff? thanks

do not download software that sounds like spyware..e.g some websites contain ads for things like free screen savers,etc,mostly this stuff contains spyware.Use Kazza lite if u have to use kazza.And,if,when viewing a website,a box comes up that asks for the installation of any software to your computer click no unless u need to have that software to view that web page(some times u need to have some special software to VIEW a page,and sometimes the web site asks u to accept the installation of the software unless they won't let u view the page.Here accept the software in Case 1,but don't accept it in Case 2).And run a program like Spyware Search and Destroy and select the auto block feature that automatically blocks the download of spyware.hope that helps Very Happy

Howdy,

Here's something nice!

So how did I get infected in the first place?
