Or do what everyone does: 1) Download the latest "hot" freeware game from Yahoo, MSN, or other site. Be sure to click the button that says, "Yes, I agree to have spyware put on my computer." 2) Use unpatched versions of IE and Windows and go to "freeware" sites with banner ads, pop-up windows, and Flash scripts which take advantge of "DSO Exploits". 3) Install every version of "smileys", "emoticons" and other "funny" programs. Like step #1, be sure to click the button that says, "Yes, I agree to install software that changes my home page, my desktop, and monitors my activities by running software in the background." Or you can protect yourself by following the steps outlined by, soulhuntre, above, AND: 1) Download the latest version of Ad-Aware. (Yes, there is a free version.) 2) Download the latest version of Spy-Bot. (Yes, there is a free version.) 3) Uninstall the current version of Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot from your computer. Yes- you read that right: uninstall your current version. Some trojans and spyware will actually disable these programs if they are found on your computer. The best thing to do is remove both programs and then: 4) Install the new version of Ad-Aware and run it. 5) Install the new version of Spy-Bot and run it. --John
