There was a different one on another spyware program a couple of weeks ago. The ones found today were Actual Spy 2.8, Elite Keylogger, Free-Keylogger, and Home Keylogger 1.70.

How do I know that these have been deleted, that there are no others, and how do I protect from getting them again?

I was hoping that even internet texts may have some sort of electronic signature which can be traced to a particular pc via ip number etc. The number that it is seemingly sent from is 20666 and one message came through as Watcher, as though i had that name in my contacts, which i havent. The help of some tech wizards would be much appreciated, thanks.

My new computer (now 3 months old) came with this installed. It's now saying it expires in 20 days. I also purchased (still boxed unopened) Norton 2007 (1 year service), can I simply install this to continue my cover or will it need to be fully reinstalled?

After a lot of personal research, straightforward testing, and lessons learned, I came up with the following freeware solutions for keeping my system up and running.

FIREWALL
- COMODO Firewall Pro

ANTIVIRUS
- AOL Active Virus Shield (based on Kapersky)
- a-squared free

ANTISPYWARE
- SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
- Microsoft Windows Defender
- SpywareBlaster
- McAfee SiteAdvisor

REGISTRY CLEANER
- Advanced WindowsCare V2 Personal
- CCleaner

ANTISPAM
- SpamBayes

DEFRAGMENTER
- Speedfrag (a bit akward to use at first, but simply the best one available for free)

MEMORY OPTIMIZER
- Cacheman

All those software are free to everyone for personal use, they are also easy-to-use, non-intrusive (almost no pop-ups windows) and low-memory consuming.

My laptop is now booting up in 55s with 659 Mb of free RAM available (out of 1Gb total), and is decently fast.

I consider it good, but I would like to make it even better.. Any advise?
