Adaware and Spybot are the classics, both free from www.downloads.com

erm, yeah..forgot to say: make sure u keep the spybot search & destroy up and running all the time ;)

add SpywareBlaster which works well with the other two for extra protection..

[pongoid]

PM me and I'll give you a link to an FTP with clean versions. FUCK downloads.com. I just got a proggie off of there the other day and the bastard put a fucking trojan in my machine. I got rid of it pretty quickly, but I don't trust downloads.com for shit anymore. DO NOT USE DOWNLOADS.COM!!!!!! I've got a couple tools that will get those proggies out, and have your machine cleaned up in a jiffy. However, be careful with them as if you get a bit too carried away you can delete a LOT of necessary files and extensions from your reg before you know it.

That's fucking ironic isn't it...

download ad-aware direct from creators at http://www.lavasoft.de

yeah, try not to use download.com. it's messy.

[c s]

ad-aware is best.

[V Knid esq]

I didn't know that about downloads.com, I will avoid in future.

I've recently had to clean up some computers at work that were absolutely riddled with malwares, and I've found that spybot picked up quite a few that adaware missed.

Echo that! There is no going back!

And I'll echo that echo. I'm hooked on Firefox now.
How did I ever used to surf without Tabs before ?

And you can get rid of annoying adverts with a click of the mouse.

Hey, on a complete tangent - did you know you can minimize all windows (in the same style as a mac F11 key) on Windows by pressing Windows and M key?

To restore press Windows, Shift and M together.

[Patrick]

yeah, I use quite a few of those keyboard shortcuts now.

• Windows Logo: Start menu
• Windows Logo+R: Run dialog box
• Windows Logo+M: Minimize all
• SHIFT+Windows Logo+M: Undo minimize all
• Windows Logo+F1: Help
• Windows Logo+E: Windows Explorer
• Windows Logo+F: Find files or folders
• Windows Logo+D: Minimizes all open windows and displays the desktop
• CTRL+Windows Logo+F: Find computer
• CTRL+Windows Logo+TAB: Moves focus from Start, to the Quick Launch toolbar, to the system tray (use RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW to move focus to items on the Quick Launch toolbar and the system tray)
• Windows Logo+TAB: Cycle through taskbar buttons
• Windows Logo+Break: System Properties dialog box
• Application key: Displays a shortcut menu for the selected item

anyone who still uses IE represents a thread to the web. check opera - or mozilla firefox if you can do with less features. ;)

[Theindigo]

your nice, thanks,

(mozilla is even good...)

Cool, nice one - it's amazing that I've probably spent at least 50% of my life for the last 6 years using a computer, but still find really basic shortcuts that I never knew about. Maybe I should read the manuals :D

Took me four years to find alt+tab

[V Knid esq]

Fuck me I knew about NONE of these shortcuts. Mozilla's nice too.
