Not coming on all heavy here, but, please everybody...

Understand that the free versions of so-called 'protection' software is never adequate... Yes, I said, "Never."
This is just as true for the free versions of the big-name programs.

This is especially true for the spyware/data miner detection/removal programs.

Get the real thing.
Unfortuanately it is rarely possible to evaluate the quality/efficacy of the 'Pro' versions by using the 'trial' stuff...

Also, beware of magazine reviews and recommendations and the numerous so-called test/comparison sites that are on the internet...
There's not a lot of hard core truth floating around out there.

And, as mentioned above and elsewhere, do NOT run more than one firewall application... But, when you want to try to detect and remove 'spyware', use two or three different apps... No probs ! (Normally, Ha Ha Ha.)


Now, about those smoky eyes !!!???
