Maybe one a month I'll run "Ad-aware" http://www.lavasoft.com/.
Never
finds
anything, hence I've no idea how good it is. Through total lack of
interest
on my part I'm not even sure what it's even supposed to be doing.
Presumably it does work as a couple of years ago it spotted a Trojan
picked
up within a couple of minutes of installing my new broadband modem and
thus
'incentivised' me (been watching too much recent TV :), to fit a firewall
prog 'ZoneAlarm'. (I'm on an original XP install).
Seems a well battened down firewall may be a key. I still visit the same
s***my/weird corners of the Internet  and had enormous s*** software
problems using Win95/98 but at that time had no firewall installed.
