Actually, if you have windows xp get the beta version of the Microsoft Antispyware.
It updates itself, and its doing a great job here. |

acutally quite a few are
i work tech support and spyware is a huge problem
98 or XP
xp just gets more
most worms wont be work in 98 but you'll still get spyware
i strongly recommend you get firefox
this is your best solution |
