Got Ad-Aware, What Next...?

Hi - Iv just reformatted my computer with XP Pro with SP1 & SP2.

But what im trying to do is get some other good programs onto it that will help keep my beast running smooth.

Iv currently got Ad-Aware and Nortans System Works 2004 Pro. Just wondering if anyone could help by telling me some other programs which are good to help keep my pc fresh…??

HiJackThis!

Thanks - ill go and read away…

Hey Prstudio - I never told you this before but that article is great. Thanks for the hard work, it has saved my arse a couple of times while fixing some computers. Very much appreciated.

:love:

yes ty for the article its a life saver!!!

Spybot and Ad-aware makes a great team.

(I recommend running only Spybot until you can notice something that it’s not picking up, then using Ad-aware.)

You should also surf with firefox, it makes spyware-searchers less necessary: only IE installs and downloads crap all over your computer, mozilla doesn’t.
