If you create an account without Administrative permission for everyday use,
you'll eliminate 85 percent of this stuff--the other 15 percent is best
practices.

I have never gotten any of this stuff on my PC and don't use such software.

Actually Daniel, since you are using Outlook Express, you do have spyware on
your system since our friends at Microsoft have added a few registry keys to
OE6. Same with Windows Media player if you use that. There are also tracking
cookies from many websites. Ever use google? How about Ebay? It is
impossible to know if you have spyware without using one of the detection
programs.

LOL!

Do you want to scare yourself?

Just do a search for cookie*.* on your PC.

Then go get something to remove the ones you 'can't see....

Cookies are a normal part of web browsing. If you don't want them, you can
blocking them with Firefox and even IE.
