Spyware!

Well after much rage about my PC freezing up every 2 minutes for a few seconds I took a mates advice and tried this spyware program (Spybot Search And Destroy).
WHAT A DIFFERENCE it has made!
Hardly any stammering so far! Internet generally seems faster! Loving it! :dance:

Found 56 instances of spyware on my system in the 1st sweep! So much for the AOL spyware zapper! :lol:
Mind you; I find AOL on the whole a total joke! :lol:

cheers,

Yup, when your internet connection basically consists of pop-ups, dialers and your home page keeps getting set to xxx-goats.com, you know its time to install some good anti spyware software, and maybe check yourself in for some therapy while you're at it :wink: :lol: :lol:

That was my 1st thought Callum but I wanted to avoid it if I could!

CB, I don't know what you're talking about! :worried:

Cheers,
