here's my anti hacker/virus toolkit Zonealarm Pro (outlook & ie6 only allowed to access internet unchecked) Norton Antivirus 2002 (scans everything including incoming/outgoing emails) Adaware (kills 99.999% of known spyware) Popupstopper (kills all known popups) adblocker (kills all known ads) cleandisk Pro (wipes out all IE cache files & cookies) also NEVER use passport to store anything you want to keep secret, like cc numbers or name & address. I'm always open to additions to my toolkit if anyone knows if I'm missing anything I need.
