I have been using ad-aware for awhile not, but I cant seem to find one software that could clean out all adware all the time for me? I have to use like 3 or 4 different softwares in order to clean my computer almost every week. Stupid norton system work isnt doing a very good job when im surfing the web. Are there anything out there that would prevent and stop all adware from messing up my computer right away?

Again, Spybot S&D has an option which allows you to 'immunize' your system. Besides that, use a firewall. I personally only use WinXPs firewall.

 

Although, the only type of spyware you will find is most likely a cookie or two if you have Adaware running in the background.

use Norton Personal Firewall 2003.. i find its the best.. it promts you on all applications that attempt to access the net and it alerts you of all the people attempting to access you computer

I don't like NIS, it blocks too many things, and it's just a pain in the rear to go and undo it's faults. Windows XP filrewall is what I currently used, haven't been hacked once.Now, it's only a matter of time until I reinstall norton.. but for now, it's pretty good.

Yes, "immunize" is a useful option.

Considering this is probably the first time, I won't delete either post.
