I have been getting all manner of potentially viral emails, and
when I click to send myself to a URL I get rerouted often and
I get popups every two seconds and
I think the email about films on incest I could buy cheaply really was over the top.

It occurred to me I might have a virus, and that I should download some cleanup. Is there anything else I can do? What's spyware and what's adware? Thanks.

http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ - Free anti-virus software

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ - more free software

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Probably the most pro-active step you can take to eliminate more junk from getting on your computer. Internet Explorer = teh lose. It is also free.

OK, here's a for instance. I was just on CH and there was a thread about using mace. I went to write a reply, and before I got there, there was a popup about pepper spray.
