Hi all, I would advise not only to keep a good antivirus updated (preferrably on a daily basis as I do), as well as anti-spyware programs such as SpyBot (www.safer-networking.org) **and** SpywareBlaster (www.wildersecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) .
The first program removes spyware programs from the computer; the other one blocks spyware from being installed into the computer. Both are reliable, on both senses: they are not spyware programs travested as anti-spyware ones and they are really able to do their job, as they promise. In case you don't want to take my word for it, I suggest you do a little research on the web about them. The bad news is that they aren't automatically updated; I suggest you update them on a daily basis. They themselves provide means to be updated, i.e. by clicking on some buttons.
