My PC slowed down a few days ago, but only when I was on the web. I run McAfee and Adaware for protection. Last night I ran a third spyware program and it found a "Keylogger". Had to change all my pass-words. I do all my banking on line, so keyloggers can be dangerous, they record every key stroke you make. Be careful. Never trust just one anti-virus.

I myself run several backgorund scanners, some of which are provided free from my ISP and another I subscribe to online,,,stopsign.com...that one scans my comp on a daily basis and always picks up the same adware/spyware programs.

System based application. It's a great piece of soft ware. It does a lot of things well, including deleted file recovery.

I have AVG which updates nearly everytime I log on.
Don't know how good it is for spyware, if at all.
Some of the programs I just find a nuisance and I
guess I just take my chances. Probably am less secure
out there in real life having someone behind me at the
ATM machine watching what I use as my pin number.
No problems so far. wish us all well.
