    Thought I was safe with Jetico firewall,Spyware terminator, and Avast until I got Email AD to my real name which I only used when registering my notebook the first time two years ago. What happened and is there any way to tighten security? I have Broadband and use both Firefox and IE6. No other noticeable problem.

    if you use IE6 you wont be secure at all. dont use it and just use firefox 3. the software you have is ok but it looks like you should keep an eye on the emails you get. if you gets email asking you to write down your codes, passwords or personal data dont do it! when you visit a website always look at its address.... www.dell.com.cz is different from www.dell.com just to give you an example.
