Hi there! I am not very good knower of IT. But when it comes to some other things I am very good. What I wanted to ask you is a matter of Spy-ware. I have heard a lot of stories about it but Ive never paid attention at it. I am using anti-virus as well as firewall (Windows) and these days I am getting messages while Im on the net about how my computer is infected and it needs to be examined! Who the hell would want my PC to examine from the net?

Hi there! That is exactly what youve heard of. Some geeks are trying to put in some bogus Anti-Spyware tools into your machine! Dont worry about that. As long as you dont link on that offer youre safe. But, if you do allow the inspection of your computer then is when the trouble starts. You see, some people have no better things but to make others suffer n a way. What worse way than making your computer hack. You just stay away from those adverts and make your browser stop this page even loading, if you are using Firefox, get that address into black list and you will be fine.
