Hi mate, Just bought a new compoota and want to put ad-aware on it. Can you link me to a ultra-no-bullshit site where I can download it? Ta. |

I use AVG and a Zonealarm firewall. I also have Adaware. All free; all pretty good. |

There's a free anti-spybot programme I run as well. I'm blanking on the name right now, but it picks up things that AdAware and virus checkers don't. I have all three, although I don't run them as often as I should. When I get home I'll try to post the name of it. |

I don't run any anti-virus software at all and I've never had a problem. |

I've had the compoota two days and did a ad-aware scan. 49 items! I've only been on this board and my work's email! |

Ad-Aware often flags up safe things though - it'll list harmless cookies as well as 'dangerous' ones. |
