A spybot/ad-aware cocktail!

And stop surfing for porn, Omar!
 
I'm posting this here also, in case on one pays any mind to it in the lav.

My gf's laptop uses IE , we have this problem that I can't seem to get rid of: She can only open one browser at a time. I've checked the settings in internet options, tried going to File:new page, scanning with adaware and Mcafee, and nothing fixes it! The only thing left for me to do is run McAfee scanning and Ad-aware in safe mode but I'm doubtful. do any of you know of this? She needs to have like three pages open at a time because she trades options on the stock market so she's constantly looking at graphs and reading news etc.... Will I have this problem if I change to Firefox, and will I still be able to view all sorts of graphs?

Firefox should solve the problem. Once you discover tabbed browsing, everything else seems silly. You can have multiple tabs open in one browser, whereas with IE you have to open a new window everytime. I think my record was something like 23 tabs in one session.

I use Spysweeper by Webroot, you can buy it at Bestbuy, by far the best one I've used. It just runs a scan on all the files on your computer and then deletes all of the junk it finds.
 
Not sure if I would trust a Micro$oft spyware. Might not detect ALL the spyware, just the stuff that ISN'T Microsoft....
