Hi,

I already have AOL Spyware on my computer. Is it OK to download & run Ad-Aware spyware?

Thanks,
BarrieG

Actually they are anti-spyware products, not spyware.
And yes it is ok.
In my opinion you should have at least 2-3 spyware scanners,
AT LEAST one spyware prevention program,
and also basic firewall/Anti-virus software.

Hi Rawe,

Thanks. I've been downloading some things that the geek site suggests. I hope Finland is nice this time of year.

Be well & happy,
