Re: OT: need good spyware removal program sugestions?
Here are some more Spyware/Adware prevention tricks. Please note Windows XP
defaults to allow all spyware/adware/search bars/browser hyjackers to install
automatically, but it can easily be fixed.
If you use Windows XP, you can stop all third party search bar take overs
instantly. Simply right click on the E (Explorer), go to PROPERTIES, then
click on ADVANCED. You want to make sure ENABLE THIRD-PARTY BROWSER EXTENSIONS
(requires restart) is unclicked.
While you are there, unclick ENABLE INSTALL ON DEMAND (Internet Explorer AND
Other), this is how 90% of spyware is installed. Doing this will cause a gray
box to appear if spware or adware is about to install.
It will now ask you if you want to install (insert spyware program here) which
will watch what you do on the internet and then give you pop-up advertisements
based on your surfing history. You want to click NO at this point.
On other versions of Windows you can turn off INSTALL ON DEMAND as well.

Re: OT OT: OS options
The first viruses were unix ones. I don't understand what you mean by the
multitaking of a mail program. I don't know where people get the idea "if
you run linux you can't get viruses" from.
