dont use IE or sp2 bcos nething to do wiv microsoft. people wantr to hack.
ok, this is the way to go:
first download a program called mozila firefox., its a internet browser that doesnt get hacked by people as much. hence no pop-ups.
then download adaware se: this is free and will get rid of all adware but dont scan unless u hav a problem or ittl mess with ur registry and delte a thing called userinit. this means that u will log off as soon as u log on. it can b fixed wiv a reinstalll of windows though.
now download avg antivirus. its free and works
best firewall id zone labs' zone alarm like the people above said, but use each of the above for the selected features to work best.
there are some that are 'all in one' but there not as gd as getting these.
also disk defragment often to make sure ur hard drive is working effeicently.
and delete your tempery internet files regually in accesories stystem tools.
and one more thing. dont download anything even plugins if u dont know what they are.
to make sure zone alarm doesnt interfer, right click it, and select the programs that u 'trust' eg counter strike, and halo ect. but before playing a game just disable it if it dont let u play, as games dont have viruses unless u download the map direct from them.
if this is the case, like css does, then update steam regually too.
hope that helps mate. pm me if u need the links or help
