Do you worry about "Spyware" ?

I do worry about them. We should always use anti-viruses, anti-spyware and firewalls. Among the best I know are, avira, bitdefender, spybot search and destroy, zonealarm and kaspersky. These offer good security.

You can get infected with spyware just by visiting some web pages; you don't even have to download anything. It can happen even if your virus protection software detects it because sometimes it isn't up to date on that one yet and it still gets through. I've had it happen several times and only got rid of it by paying my virus protection company extra and turning control of my computer over to their technician online and they use all kinds of tools to dig out the infection. The last time it took one of their senior techs. to solve my problem.

i'm like you i never open anything if i don't know the sender. i enjoy my computer, it's alot of company to me . sure would hate for something to happen to it. have a good weekend & greetings from tennessee.
