mcafee firewall and pop up stopper.. that should cover me, right?

if you use a GOOD antivirus software that auto updates once a week and you are careful what you let websites install on your PC that goes along way

The google toolbar now has a popup stopper built in that works very well

And ad aware is great at cleaning out the spy ware the you might get by accident ....

You would be surprised how many times I have been paid to install those 3 things to fix PC problems

I use mcafee for the virus protection and it updates as often as I log on.. so its pretty up to date..

I will ad on ad aware.. is it a freebie? or do you have to pay for it?

Thanks :tu:
