Things are different now...
Used to be almost OK, but for now--- NEVER even

You've got at min a 95% probability (not chance) of getting a virus...
This does not apply
only to the Gnutella Network... Torrents are maybe even worse right now !
Apps = Zaps !
For you, Mullet35...
Your description of your problems is not exactly voluminous, eh ???
But, it sounds a lot like a common problem caused by M$...
If you're running XP you probably need to do some updates...
That usually fixes at least the Adobe nonsense.

Well, NO surprise there !
PC-TOOLS Registry Mechanic is great... Spyware Doctor is not.
(I've been using PC-TOOLS apps since 1984.)
Spybot is useless. Yeah, I know... That comment will upset many people.
Tough. It's fact.

This is not actually true...
