How to fight back against spyware!
Spyware program reviews: www.adwarereport.com
The Firefox browser empowers you to browse faster, more safely and more efficiently than with any other browser. Join more than 25 million others and make the switch today — Firefox imports your Favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose.
The Thunderbird email client makes emailing safer, faster, and easier than ever before with the industry's best implementations of features such as intelligent spam filters, built-in RSS reader, quick search, and much more.
Always use a personal firewall with a PC connected to a cable modem, DSL or wireless Internet service. Free firewalls are listed at www.free-firewall.org -- and you can test your firewall for leaks and invitations here as well. Tip: Have the personal firewall set to at least the medium level of security.
Install, use and regularly update Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy anti-spyware programs. Both are free for the downloading. No one program will detect all spyware -- install at least two (or more) spyware programs. Tip: Be extremely wary of counterfeit versions of Lavasoft's Ad-Aware, spelled slightly different; those are actually spyware.
Signs your PC's under siege.
If your Windows PC is being used as a zombie, you may notice recurring slowdowns of e-mail and Web browsing. Or you may not be able to e-mail or browse at all. If your PC has been infected with a self-replicating network worm, a dormant backdoor Trojan horse or several other types of stealthy programs, you may not notice anything.
