    Which spyware should I use? I'm feeling pretty good about Kapersky's as an antivirus. Thoughts please. Also what is a good firewall. Thanks

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security. Works great for me. You can use the license to protect up to 3 PCs. I also run Spyware Blaster (freeware) that protects your brower. Freeware version does not do automatic updates but the paid version does. I've been infection free for years.

    I used kaspersky internet security until two days ago. The update wouldn't work properly. I tired to uninstall it but it wouldn't uninstall properly either. Did a clean install and tried it again - same issues. Did another clean install and I now use Pc-cillin. At least it uninstalls cleanly.

    Anyone else having a problem with Kaperski's?
    Is the not being able to update a problem with everyone else. I use Counterspy for my spyware on my old laptop and it has not been updating as of late.

    hey redzapper thanks for the info. Because of you I did a google search and found the review on CNET. CNET's review was nothing but positive but if you read some user reviews you found out that some of Kapersky's features leave "hooks" in some of your files that slow the system down and actually adversely affect checkdisk. Thanks bro
