Tips to keep your computer Spyware free

1. Update Windows immediately. In the Windows Security Center in the Control Panel turn on automatic download and installation for updates. Unless the computer came with a third party security suite or firewall, turn on the Windows XP firewall.

2. Update the pre-installed antivirus definitions and other security apps. Set them to auto update.

3. Download and install an alternative browser like Firefox or Opera.

4. Lockdown Internet Explorer. Yes, do it even if you use a different browser.

5. Install at least two anti-spyware apps. My top two recommended free apps are Spyware Doctor and Microsoft AntiSpyware. Update definitions for both and turn on active protection.

6. Install some free protective programs like SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard from Javacool Software.

7. Surf safe. don,t go into sites you don't trust or sites which just pops up

8. If your computer gets infected run scan on Spyware doctor. and remove the spyware

9. If you can't do it contact your local system mechanic or what ever you call him.
