For those of you who have experienced phone calls on your phone bill placed by a dialer....stomp your feet if phone company gives you a hard time....you're not legally responsible for calls not made by you and they will remove the charges. Judy :)

Hey Colin! You know me, can't NOT put my two cents worth in....LOL! You do know your stuff! Judy :)

For what it's worth: I've been using ad-aware for a few weeks and it seems very easy to use, regular updates appear and it's picked up about five bits of dodgy per day. I have used spybot in the past and found it not quite as easy to use as ad-aware.

Malware is the manufacturer of spyware....easily removed with Adaware. Spybot, a program for removing spyware, does add it's own form of spyware to your computer. As for computer freezing up, although spyware is often the cause of this, not doing the recommended routine maintanence jobs and not retrieving the recommended and critical updates at Microsoft Windows Update site, will surely contribute to the problems you're experiencing....including not being able to download files. Judy :)

Colin, please, thankyou, you are wonderful........ Since downloading all the software of Spybot and AVG, now when I go into internet options, I am getting a message that says "This operation cancelled due to restrictions in operation on this computer". Also, do you have the address of Ad-Aware please. Many thanks, Jacky :-)
