Hiya, If you are running a Windows(tm) OS then you are vulnerable to all the nasties that those programs (and more) catch. So, your choices are: Stick with Windows and those programs, and have a small measure of security (those programs alone are not sufficient, you should also have a good firewall, a cookie cutter, a pop-up killer, and have a registry watcher/protector). OR Stick with Windows and remove one or more of those programs, start your stopwatch, and time how long it takes for your machine to be infected, trojanned or hijacked. OR Wipe the hard drive and install one of the consumer build Linux distributions (SuSe 9.1, Fedora etc), as Linux is not prey to those nasties (in general) you will not need those kinds of programs. The drawback is - you will have to learn a bit more about your computer, and it will look and act slightly differently (but QUICKER and safer). I would suggest you do some reading with respect to securing your computer while on the net. Have Fun...
