A: YOU ARE RIGHT ON TARGET. Your antivirus program AVAST is excellent! Many folks here are advising you to use what is "popular" with them, .... oh but beware some of those recommendations have problems including allowing a virus to download. So trust someone who has gone through the gauntlet. YOU ARE RIGHT on target using AVAST. It's the best. AntiSPYware is for finding and catching trojans, malware and adware, all of which can do harm to your computer or steal your information. The difference: http://www.cnaw.biz/difference_virus_spy.html My strong recommendaton that in addition to continuing with your AVAST and allow it to run on your system 24/7, that you also get this program and run it once a week or more: Get free Ad-AWARE spy-removal tool from Lavasoft http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-a... 1. Download, install and run this program weekly or more. ^j^
