Another Program To Mention

Here is another program I recommend to prevent Spyware and Viruses from getting on your system. It's called IE-Spyad.

In some ways it is similar to SpywareBlaster. With IE-Spyad though, it lists thousands of known websites that try to use Spyware or Viruses and adds it to your Restricted Zone in Internet Explorer. When sites are in your restricted zone, by default they are not allowed to download anything onto your machine, use cookies, etc.

Highly recommended!
