I have been infected for the last time by some fu=ki*ng spyware thingys and I've had it.


Stop using Internet Explorer. You may also want to have a look at your browsing habits as well, generally, I find that to be the main cause for spyware infestations.


Edit...if you really want to move to Linux and still have a Windowsy feel, have a look at SuSE 9.3 Professional, thats a lovely desktop distro :-)

Edit 2...many also swear by Ubuntu as a great desktop distro, but not me.

Already try to enforce that rule - Firefox is installed and set to be the default browser. And yes, I personally browse very carefully, but of course I can't be home with the kids as they do their cruising - arrgh!

Unfortunately, I have children who don't listen to me.

Partly my fault, as I had the system half re-installed without the safety software and didn't warn the kids to stay off the internet...:(

BTW, I need the ability to play Quake and Quake 2 on linux...


Simple solution there, buy them a Mac mini, thats what I did.
