They say that majority of computer repair cases these days are not related
to hardware problems at all, but rather because of an accumulation of
spyware. Perhaps not everyone realizes that you need spyware protection in
addition to anti-virus, anti-trojan, and firewall protection.
WindowsXP is actually a very stable operating system. If you have an older
operating system, that may be the culprit. However, if you are running
WindowsXP and you find your computer is freezing and crashing, or simply
much slower than it used to be, the culprit is most likely spyware. To find
out a little bit about spyware (or pestware), read this article:

Personally, the program I use to protect against spyware is SpySweeper by
Webroot (www.webroot.com).

Subject: [LegacyUG] OT-Cleaning up the Hard Drive
Hi
Can any Listers recommend a program for getting rid of all the debris etc on
one's hard drive? I am sure if I get rid of some of the junk that has
accumulated I wouldn't have all the PC freezes I am encountering.
Thanks
Garry
