I was just checking out my parents comp because thay said its running slow.

and thay checked norton and nothin poped up.

so i installed 2 of my favorate anti-programs :) and their only 16mb for both :) guess wut i discovered.

199 spy-bots & 3 trojans.

now tell me if thays bad. i was shocked most i ever had in spybots were 7. and thats was 1 day of net surfing.

just to tell u guys trojans happen. but getting 199 spy-bots on ur comp is bad. it slows down ur comp badly now theirs is running like new but i suggest u guys check out this site for a good spybot scanner and its free :).

www.safer-networking.org

hope that would help alot of u.

Spyware classes cookies from things like adverts as spyware too remember :p just keep your dad away from the "adult" sites that tend to drop spyware though ;) :angel:
