What the bloody hell's happened to the net??!?! I've only been off for a year or so, and I install a crappy 56k modem, grab a free provider, reconnect and get bombarded, utterly bombarded with spyware and popups. Damn, if it were like this when I was a young'un those two tears (typo, years but tears nonetheless) ago I'd have never come back!
Grumble, grumble. moan.............

If you're not using it already, go for Firefox 1.0PR ([URL]http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/[/URL]) rather than Internet Explorer, as a lot of web sites can target IE's security issues and plan Spyware.
Also, get yourself a copy of Ad-aware ([URL]http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html[/URL]) and Spybot Search and Destroy ([URL]http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html [/URL]) and scan your PC every so often. Spybot also includes a registry monitor, and will alert you when anything tries to make or alter an entry.
And get yourself a firewall, esp. for a broadband connection.
