Virusware

FTR, my desktop is protected by Avast (free version), with regular checkups by SpyBot, and if I think there's something they didn't catch, MalwareBytes. I think Avast, already good, has tightened up their net lately on spyware.

I browse with JavaScript off, plug-ins off, cookies off, pop-ups only when asked for (except for preferences set on individual sites). Still, I sometimes forget to turn all that off when leaving some site. I sometimes see Avast has caught an email attachment. but the system seems to be safe....

Of course, my desktop is running Netscape on Win95....
