format/rebuild, it will probably double your FS performance anyway. Anyone who has ever done a format/rebuild and then re-installation
of FS says
they pick up a ton of framerates. They usualyy say it is because they cleaned the dust out of there case or something funny like that but
the fact is
nothing is better for FS than a clean system...
If it is that bad, do not even [play around with trying to clean it, just blow it away.
As for all of these suggestions of mulptiple spyware and ad-aware runnning and things like that, I have a much better suggestion... ONLY
EVER GO TO WEBSITES YOU TRUST AND KNOW!!!! All of these programs key on definition files which mean none of them can catch a
new threat at what we call zero hour in network security terms, in other words catch something as soon as it is released. SOOOO even
with all of these things running, Antivirus, Personal Firewall's, ad aware and spyware out the butt, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED!!!! There
is one program in the world today called WholeSecurity. They are one of the top 25 private companies in the world. (also one of my
partners ) They do what is called behavioral based scanning and they are the only ones who can TRULY protect a system at zero hour.
Reason being, they do not look at a .dat or a .def file, they analyze behavior instead.
For example, if I download an .mp3 and it has spyware embedded within everything else will miss it but WholeSecurity will say wait a
second, you are an .mp3 why are you gathering information, that is not the normal behavior of a .mp3 so I am shutting you down. It is
mind blowing technology.
I work in network security, this is what I do for a living and guess what NONE of my systems have spyware detectors running all the time.
I run a WholeSecurity scan every few months from a network drive to ensure that the systems are clean. The best defense against
computer threats is not spyware detectors, it is being smart when you surf the web. If you don't know where a link is going to take you,
don't click it, never open e-mail attachments unless you are 110% of the content, just delete them. It comes down to how careful you are
on a day to day basis with your systems. Like I said, never ran spyware, never had spyware but I have also never been to a single
website I do not trust...
Trust me, you can put every program in the world on your system and someone can break it down in a matter of minutes. (I am one of
them ) Do not load up your system with all of those programs, they kill performance and it is not necessary just be very careful about
your behavior and surfing patterns when on-line. THAT is the best defense.
Just my .02 and I have been in this industry for 12 years now and have protected companies such as IBM, DuPont, GE, BT, BP, and many
many other of the largest companies in the world without EVER using spyware. In fact for spyware concerns all we do is filter them down
to protected websites that an admin trusts and it is not an issue which shows it is more of a behavioral probelm than a technical
problem. It is all in your surfing habits. Trust me, you are not getting spyware from flightsim.com, avsim.com,FSP.com, cnn, msn, espn,
major sites etc...

How come none of us have this 'Whole Security' program then?!? You sound like you're advertising it...kind of reminds me of Victor Kiam
with the electric shavers lol...don't tell me you're gonna buy the company!....And how come we all have firewalls and AV progs? Are we all
being taken for a ride or something? Surely not?
