Default want to fight spyware...wear a condom...


want to fight spyware...wear a condom... use ie-spyad !

add prophylactic protection to filter your computer from catching something in the first place. use IE-SpyAd.
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/main.htm

what is ie-spyad ?
"ie-apyad is a simple Registry patch that adds a long list of known advertisers, marketers, and spyware pushers to the Restricted Sites zone of Internet Explorer. No matter what security settings you prefer in IE in general, your browser will automatically switch to maximum security
mode when it wanders onto pages that are known to be 'high risk' Web environments. this has enormous advantages over similar fixes which rely on customizing the Windows HOSTS file, because IE-SpyAd doesn’t
really keep you from getting to most pages, it only bars unsafe behavior on those pages, and t leaves the HOSTS file unmolested so that it can be used more effectively for its original uses".
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.php#tools

i suggest u create a systemrestore point b4 trying it.

there is nothing vulgur about a condom. its here to protect us. even our efficient govt promotes condoms openly. look at the press, look at the hoardings and the tv ! so dont feel embarassed by it my friend. feel safe...very safe !

and dont worry, it wont corrupt our youngsters. i think around 20% (mebbe worng) of websites are devoted to porn sites. so such guys r anyway going to be going there !

the title has been used here EXACLY AS IT IS appears in the 2nd link mentioned above in my post. basically - ie-spyads acts like a condom...when u want to...FIGHT SPYWARE ! its there to protect u in the first place itself !

Info on such software is always welcome. Another relatively easier way is to use SpyBot S&D 'Immunize' feature, though only for IE.

BTW, what the hell is vulgar with condoms?This mindset lead to only more trouble and nothing else.

There is nothing vulgar, if there was any thing as such, I would have edited this post.

By the way, I have written another article as to whether we need "condoms", take a look in case you are interested.

{Are "Condoms" required?}
