Norton is great for anti-virus, but isn't free. A free anti-spyware program I use is "Ad-Aware," found on the Lavasoft web site. I think it also helps get rid of pop-ups. The one quirk is that it reports an Internet Explorer search option as spyware, but maybe it's right. Anyway there are instruction on the Internet that you can use to rewrite that section of Explorer to make it refer to the Google search engine in that particular instance, which removes the objection Ad Aware has. Best wishes, Joe
