    If you surf the web, you got adware/spyware. Even MSN downloads have that [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], as I had to experience it before with MSN gaming zone back when I was younger.

    Well I have reasonably good protection in the first place, but I run Avast! now and then, that takes care of pretty much everything.

    Adaware gets most stuff, and I use Spybot for the stuff Adaware doesn't get.
    The problem is easier solved by not going on dodgy webpages, though.
