I think I might have infected hard drives as they seem to be acting up a bit. Can anyone reccomend some good spyware protection. Right now I was thinking of getting "spybot search & destroy /// ad-aware" and last but not least "norton antivirus". Is this a good combo for busting those nasty spy programs? I've heard you need at least two anti-spyware programs to get all the junk. Is that true??? Anybody have good results with other anti-spy/virus software?

First off, stay away from porno, warez sites. :D j/k ;)
I use AVG antivirus, it works quite well and it's free. I use Spybot and Adaware and I have had no problems. I also have the MS Defender, it actually works but not sure how well. It does seem to cut down on the amount of junk Spybot used to find. If you have a legal copy of XP, it's free. If you surf the net, you're going to get this crap, no way around it I have found. All else fails, format.

Nothing in life is free, this is the price you pay if you're going to have a woman (women) in your life. As a kid you should have learned to turn your mother off when she started yelling about something, this was your training to deal with girl firends and wives. :)
