If you're on a dedicated line they come at you nonstop
I just wish they'd realize that if they ever get my financial info, they'd be very disapointed.

Like Big 7 here says, get a firewall up.

You can save yourself from almost all hacks and adware just by using Mozilla's Firefox browser online instead of Internet Explorer. The hackers and bug writers haven't caught up to it yet, and the stuff written for Explorer doesn't work on it.

Firefox is a free download, and it's enough like Internet Explorer that you don't even notice the difference after using it for a little while.

Eno's getting off the phone, and says to Fang, "that was the guy who stole my identity. He wants to give it back."

My computer is new and my soft wear is up to date this crap still gets in and james up my machine.

Tracking cookies won't "attack" your computer, and Ad-Aware is pretty strange about what it considers a tracking cookie.
