Stop installing Adware / Spyware / Antivirus software.
A few months ago I removed all antivirus / adware / spyware removers / monitors from my system, and have been running squeaky clean ever since.
No Norton, No HJT, No AdAware, No S&D... No problems.
Prior to this test, I installed a fresh copy of windows on a formatted drive and put on all of my "defenses". Within a week I had 96 files that were considered a "threat", so I removed them. I then found even more after running each program to remove them.
Has anyone else done this test? If so, please post your results here. I'd be interested in seeing if I'm just being Overly careful now, or if there is something more to this.
