Computer privacy

If you haven't already done so, please download and use either Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy to clear your computer of spyware regularly.

As I've mentioned before, practically all websites have adware, and Tripod.com, my website host, is no exception. This weblog is okay.

I also recommend using MisterPrivacy.com whenever you surf the net. They will soon have SSL compatibility, which means you will also be able to use it on secure websites and webpages (eg, ones that require log-in, like email accounts; or sites that do online transactions).

I cannot recommend enough using Mozilla's FireFox internet browser. I love it. (Make sure you download the various 'extensions' here and here that make this browser so handy.)

Finally, clean your computer regularly with a program like Window Washer, CyberScrub, or Eraser (free). Otherwise deleted files, internet pages, and other crap that you didn't even know you had, will remain on your computer for years!

  • What Is Wrong with so many Spy-Ware Tools that promise to do the job?

    After installing you find out they use so much memory! They have to run in

    the systems tray and always have to be run on a regular weekly bases!

    And if thats not enough we find out we have to pay for the upgrade

    so it will run in the background,But it still sucks up the memory!

    Simple Solution you want a software that will kill that Spyware

    and all the Gremlins on contact use the least memory and be a

    Set & Forget Tool!

    Grab it Now Free plus a how to Video w/ Xp Mini Course !

    I have a click connection internet menu network page security setting
