Linux and Solaris are both OSes but partly due to their low acceptance and design they are virtually virus free. I use Linux 7.3 and though i got no GUI I am virus free.

NOPE
you need to do scan of your computer which will give you list of spywares available on your PC
it is better to scan with two to three different anti-spywares mainly due to lack of centralised spyware list
I would suggest other two's
www.lavasoft.com Ad aware &
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ Spybot

both are good

as for me I use Avast! Home edition
free for personal use.
Light weight & does its work very well

I use Linux 7.3 and though i got no GUI I am virus free.

you are kidding right?
Linux 7.3?

revtech,exactly what type of sites do you want to block(annoying sites or ads).depending on that,first get a popupblocker,then delete all temp files,cookies and history,increase security levels and if possible use another web browser.
hope that helps:-)

hey i just read your post and looked on download.com.I found stoppop.net(http://www.download.com/StopPop-net/...ml?tag=lst-0-4).Its a really neat software and it seems to be pretty good(just downloaded it!!)I think it has a 14 day trial which i ilegally extended.Its not a toolbar and you dont really know it exists.It works only with IE and only when you are surfing,screenshot below:



This seems like the best option as of now,BUT you can also do the following:
1-DOwnload the latest version of IE V6.0(i think).
2-If you are using XP get service pack 2 which has a firewall and popupblocker.
3-Reinstall your os

Oh yeah.........did I mention,you can block certain sites!!!

I use McAfee and MS Antispyware. So far so good. Avast is good enough for home PC. Make sure you enable Firewall on Windows XP.

@revtech, I was going to suggest you to use FireFox, but then you are already doing it.
