[dba-Tech] Pop-ups

Ad-aware finds stuff that spybot doesn't and vice versa... after I've run a
spybot scan (typically once a week) I run ad-aware and it always finds more
things. Sygate, huh? I'll check that out when my licence for Zonealarm runs
out :-)

Oh, and I go through an ADSL router too, which is a dhcp server, and has
limited protection too :-)

 Jon,
   Why have ad-aware and spybot?  IMNSHO, spybot catches all and does a
 better job at it w/o taking your pc hostage while it searches all
 avenues (registry, memory, and hdd).  btw, I've found that sygate
 personal firewall is a more stable more secure firewall than
 zonealarm and it's still just as easy to use.  Granted it doens't
 have all that AOL look and feel, but everything is very intuitive.

btw, with all the security you've got you never once mentioned that
 you surf via proxy ;o)
