Seems everytime I get on my computer I'm getting a virus of some sort. Are there certain sites that I shouldn't be going to? I'm trying to maintain a healthy pc yet I'm afraid to go anywhere because I contract all this crap. No way to enjoy the most of my comp :?

There are detailed instructions on how to clean your computer as well as tips on how to keep it clean. You must have an up to date anti-virus program running in the background when you are online. That will keep out most viruses. Some people buy programs such as Norton or MacAfee, others prefer the free programs AVG or Avast which are as good or better than the ones that cost $. The secret is to have it updated regularly and running. Spybot will clean your computer of spyware and adware and can also keep your computer from going to "known bad sites" if you turn on immunization. Use your head, if you download alot of music and such from unknown sources, you are asking for trouble. Charlie
