i hate spyware. i had to spend a few hours last night messing around with an old windows 95 computer getting rid of all the spyware it had gathered over the last while. putting on a copy of mozilla and some anti-spyware programmes to clean it all up.
it really is annoying that internet explorer is built in such a way that its so easy for pretty much anything to get by the average user, the 90% of people who dont need to/want to worry about their computers too much, and in turn they get get unknowningly infected.
so, stop using internet explorer. these people said so, as did slate (owned by mircosoft) who recommended firefox (which is faaantastic). other programmes which should be used are spybot and adaware.
(this mini rant was caused by far too much rain recently and by the spyware)
