| I have been using the internet for last two years and everything worked fine. However, since few months ago, I could not defend from viruses, especially Trojans. I even reinstalled my operating system few times but it did not help me for a long. Is there a possibility that my SpyBot could not detect browser hijacks & spyware? On the other hand, should I change my Internet browser? |

| There are other browsers beside the IE, like Netscape, Firefox and Opera. Many users think that they are better then IE. I do not think that your problems are related to using Explorer. I am also spending much time on the Internet, I am using Internet Explorer, and I do not have any problems. You already have reliable anti-spyware software in SpyBot. SpyBot is the best in its category. You just have to update it regularly otherwise, it cannot detect every spyware. You also need some good anti-virus software, which is efficient and free. I personally use AVG and I am completely satisfied. If you have WinXP, you will also need SP 2 to be installed. All those things will not slow your machine much and will give you enough protection. |
