Hello everyone. I am newbie computer user and I have just recently connected computer to Internet. I have cable Internet connection and I am running Windows XP Home edition. I have heard about various threats on Internet and I would like to know how real they are. I am thinking especially on spyware and similar malicious programs because I find them most threatening.

Hello. Spyware threat is very real on Internet. You will have to download and install some good antispyware software (Spybot Search and Destroy readily comes to mind). There are several freeware programs, like SpyBot, which are really good. Keep them updated and ran scans regularly. Also, most essential is to think what you are doing on Internet , what web sites you are visiting and where do you leave your personal information.
