This is probably one of the best programs and you could use a different browser than Internet explorer which is probably why she's getting the spyware!

Install Spybot S&D, update it, and then immunize the system. Now add SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster and Commodo BOClean.

Your antivirus program isn't doing it's job if she keeps getting infected. Here is what I suggest:
1. SpyBot - use immunize.
2. SpywareBlaster
3. IE-SPYAD
4. Windows Defender - free real-time protection.
Then "lock down" IE by setting the restricted zone to the highest level for everything.... and get a better AV program.

With Immunization and the prevention of a lot of these things from even getting in, I do suggest all of the above. It is better to prevent than to clean up later. |

Of course you're right--it just seems that if one is going to allocate precious system resources, it may as well be for programs that are up to date. |

Just remember that there is not a single program or product that can prevent/protect against it all. You must use a layered defense.

OK....
For preventing spyware or other nasty stuff just get an appliance like BlueCoat or a Router, that actually blocks Javascript while you can use legitamite programs without interrupting your tasks...
In other words, you would want to block soyware BEFORE it hits the network... |
