RE: Machine protection - WAS [OT] Explorer HELP

["Yahoo Lists" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Spybot, it has a resident program that pops up a window whenever
anything like this tries to install itself.

It's free and so far has worked perfectly.

I have also been told by other people in the past that Adaware does not
catch as much - although I don't know how true this is.

Hi

On the subject of machine protection, what does the group recommend to
stop
this kind of situation happening in the first place?

I know XP service pack 2 is OK, but what do you use with this to stop a
machine being trashed by malware?
There are real time versions of Adaware.

I have not marked this as [OT] as my automation servers are connected to
the
net and thus this would be relevant.

Cheers
