Answer 2

Depending on how safe you surf, you may not need an active monitoring app,
such as TeaTimer, which is in Spybot S&D.

By installing the hosts file, IE-SPYADs, SiteAdvisor and WinPatrol,
you will have a pretty good line of defense which won't use up any resources.
this is the link you reqire for the apps http://temerc.com/hddncounttuts.html......

And of course a firewall is a must,
tho the XP SP 2 firewall is not sufficient in my opinion.
It only blocks incoming attacks, and should something get thru and that's always possible,
then it can call out to get more things installed or use your machine as a zombie
I'd recommend Zone Alarm, but one of the older versions from here:

Either of the 4.5 versions seem to work best, less buggy than current ones


i have all the installers saved on disc if you would like them e mail me

Answer 3

I agree these fake winning lottery notifications can be very irritating to everyone. Unfortunately these criminals Prey on victims everyday. The best thing to do is put a checkmark beside the E-mail, and then click Spam. If you are receiving regular mail with these announcements you need to notify your local law enforcement so these criminals can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Answer 4

Everyone is hopeful to find an easy way to make money, that's why we get so much junk mail.

Most of them really don't make any money, they just get fooled.

Answer 5
