I'm hoping my norton internet security will keep my **** safe. It usually catches all the viruses. I just wish i could get rid of this dam spyware thats stuck in my registry, that my antivirus warns me about 25 times a day. :surrender

Sorry about that, I just know that 99.99% of the people on these forums use some sort of IM service...thought I'd pass along the warning!!!

I got that, plus Hijack this, and also run adaware. My hijack this will get rid of the 3 main spywares I have, but i cant identify them in my registry. If your not careful you can wipe out needed files. i've done it before LOL. Not a big problem but just a nuisance. The spyware tries to access my computer and my norton denies it. It just tells me when it tries. all the time . LOL.
