Step 9
Download and install newest version of
Firefox (a replacement for Internet Explorer). Firefox has a much better track record as far as security goes. It is updated more often and there are less attacks against Firefox. The odds of you getting spyware again after using Firefox are MUCH less likely. Which is due to Firefox not supporting ActiveX and less attacks being developed against the browser itself.
Download Firefox from the link below!
Step 10
Remove any virus scanner you have and only continue to Step 11 if you've removed your virus scanner. (ex.Norton, Mcafee)
DO NOT install more than one virus scanner for "full-time/resident scanning"
Step 11*
Get yourself a virusscanner! We recommend NOD32 if you need JUST a virus scanner and if you need a firewall AND a virusscanner we highly recommend Kaspersky. NEVER run more than one virus scanner or firewall at a time.
