Question REQ: XP Registry & Windoze Cleaners

I've always liked the idea of p2p neworks and now have the time to set up a share and have at it.

Before I open my system up to all the potential creepies and nasties I want to have some disinfectant around to keep everything squeeky clean.

Can folks please recommend good parasite detectors and cleaners for my XP system?

Thanks in advance!
-CB

Adaware is a good spyware killer
And I keep my computer running smoothly with JV16 powertools.
Startup monitor is a free handy tool that keeps track of programmes that startup when your computer starts.
further A firewall (free ZoneAlarm) and a up to date Antivirus are reccomended .

Happy Sharing !

Wink In addition to ...

the aforementioned utilities like Lavasoft's Ad-aware and JV16 Powertools and Zonelabs ZoneAlarm, you may also try Spybot - Search & Destroy. It can be found at http://www.safer-networking.org/. I have found it will catch a few things that Ad-aware does not. It, like Ad-aware, can be updated via the Internet.

FWIW, I personally use Aw-Aware 6, JV16 PowerTools, Spybot - S&D, and Zone Alarm Pro.

Best wishes staying on top of the nasties.
