hubby the computer genius created a virtual machine from which I do most of my internetting. Spyware? just delete the machine and make a new one. So much easier than trying to get every single spyware since they are so sneaky where they hide in your computer.

my bf is a computer genius too lol he works for geek squad and yesterday i went to memolink on his comp and he freaked out, hes like omg im going to get spyware. he got so mad at me, he ran a scan, sure enough 238 kinds of spyware!! 4 viruses just by going to a few sites :( luckily, he knows how to delete them, and he thought me how to clean up the comp. so sad, ill still do it though, i'll use my personal computer :) i run a scan before i log off. delete the files from the registry (be careful though, delete the wrong file and the computer wont boot up!) try downloading avg for viruses and yahoo spyware scan, i think those work great, and they are free. hth.

I wish I could tell you more, but the computer stuff is his bailiwick. Your bf could prolly do some research for you.
