I bet the government doesn't get spyware? Maybe not, but they also have a good protection against hackers.

you are probably the most ignorant 'nerd' if you even have the privelage for the title ive ever met. its impossible to not get spyware some time...you truly are a moron, why would people who make spyware want you to know that their program is running on your machine if it is handing them passwords and all kinds of good numbers.

and unless you spend hundreds of dollars on anti-spyware/ anti-adware programs. Spyware/Adware is inevitable.

By the way, Opera rocks.

you know theres a difference between ignorance, and stupidity, and you truly fall under the stupidity column. First of all, two virus programs really is one of the worest things you could do to your computer, not to mention the stress its gonna put on your hardrive, especially if you have one/both on autodetect. And I guarntee you have spyware, I know this because I guarntee your anti-spyware program does not have every spyware version on it. If it did, your spyware program would take up about 5 gigabytes.

I used to get spam in my inbox. Then, I got an account with my ISP when we switched to them, and never got any with that account. Now, I have gmail, and I haven't gotten any with it yet.

I'll sign it. Probably won't do much good, though.

Unfortunately, this thread isn't too popular any more. I'm making it a normal post.
