To avoid spyware, DON\'T use Internet Explorer (use Firefox or Opera instead), and DON\'T use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express (use Thunderbird or something else).
In fact, avoid all Microsoft software. For office, try OpenOffice. Microsoft writes its software with scripting capabilities that supposedly make it easy for developers, but they have ZERO security. ActiveX is the single biggest threat to Windows users. It\'s how spyware gets installed on your computer without your knowledge.
Ideally, avoid Windows altogether: Linux is pretty user-friendly these days and it\'s free, and MacOS X is far friendlier than Windows, if you can afford an Apple computer.

Hi, you could use spybot and adware for protecting your computer from spyware. These are free of charge and could be directly downloaded from the net. I cannot gurantee you that these are the best. but i advice them as they work good on my comp.
I just hate this kind of information - just shows how naive the writer of this article is - probably it was a copy-paste from some other source. Because of 1 reason - the article assumes that you are running a Windows machine. At least one line at the begining would make it look better.
Will it pose any problem???

One of my friend advised me against deleting all the files present in the Temperory Folder(Temp); he said, few of the files present in that folder might have a direct link with OS and that deleting them will only do more harm than good. So, I would like to know whether it is correct or not. I will be thankful if U could reply to my message.
