Now I have Norton firewall, which gets rid of ads and pop ups. And Norton anit-virus, with at least seekly live updates. And, then a weekly dose of SptBot.

I use Ad-Aware and Spybot. I find that if one of them misses something, the other will pick it up.

Can you run SpywareBlaster as well as running Norton Firewall. I ask this because I see PC World classes SpywareBlaster as a firewall.
Of course you run Adaware 6.0 first, to throw out the rubbish. But every time I run it nowadays, it has very few things to remove.
