You can install a bunch of anti-spyware tools, and run a scan every day. Or simply use a different browser.
I use IE and dont run all those spyware proograms, I have no need too. I cant tell you the last time I ran one.
You either never used IE or only use it for a couple of sites and never visit something new.
I use IE everyday and visit all kinds of sites, warez sites also and I dont have nothing running in the background eating my cpu and mem and I dont run a scan every day or so either. I only have Symantec running, and VNC, thats it.
Or, you have tons of anti-spyware tools running in the background, eating your CPU & mem. And I am sure you run a scan every day or so.
We (Opera & Firefox users) don't need that. Saves me at least an hour of time per week, plus my browser is faster than IE; saves even more time. All I have installed on my system is Avast.
Why learn how to fix problems if you can avoid them? Saves time, especially for people with little knowledge about computers.
Learning how to fix problems will come in handy when a problem does occur so learning how to fix it is something everyone needs to know. I guess I have a little bit of knowledge so I dont have these issues
