sorry people im not much of a computer geek so bear with me. I have a few issues with my computer built up over the past few weeks and i am wondering if anyone can help me answer a few questions.
1. Is there any way I can get my msn to log me in invisible? i heard there was a program/mod you could download somewhere. not sure though. I hate signing on and having 20 people msg me.
2. I have an older version of norton antivirus (no more than a year or two old) and i am wondering if i can install that and just do the updates automatically and not have to go buy the new 2003 edition. anyone know anything about norting?
3. Anyone have any good spyware remover software they can recommend? im fucking sick of this crap on my computer.
thanks for the help friends

Like trancearmada said, try Ad-aware 6.0 (or whatever the newest version is). It's free and it works.

I find spybot to be one of the best spyware removers out there.
I believe Spybot Search & Destroy is a more comprehensive spyware/adware removal tool than Ad-Aware. I seem to remember that not too long ago there was a particularly insidious spyware program floating around that Spybot could detect and remove but that Ad-Aware could not.
Regarding your copy of Norton Antivirus, if it hasn't been installed and updated before, I think your one-year subscription should still be valid.
