Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

If you aren't using Linux as operative system, you should be concerned. Try free products to keep yourself save and forget the idea of P2P software until you have gotten some protection.

Alternatives:

Avast
AVG
Bitdefender
==>or switching to Linux (as viruses are mainly made for Windows OS, they don't affect Linux distributions)

Sure! The people that sell the protection are the ones that make the bugs. What a racket.

Wow. I see two choices, download AV immediately, or disconnect from the internet and get to the nearest computer store and buy the CD.
