thanks.
i liked your firefox addon part. that helped me a lot! weee no more ads...
.. i actually knew about adblock, but now that there is an updater for it, it is now good. before it was such a hassle to right click each new ad u found.
edit: oh, and i found 2 spyware several weeks ago when i ran trend micro Housecall for the heck of it lol.
but now i have avast! virus scanner. it's a free program for house residents and updated it's virus database daily.
... stupid Norton. it sucks so bad. doesn't find anything. updated only like once every 2 weeks and then u gotta restart the whole comp. AND you gotta pay for it. even support.
