Army of software!

I just realized everything I am running on my PC to prevent everything from cookies to spyware to hackers getting into my machine.

First of all...THIS IS F-ING NUTS HAVING TO RUN ALL OF THIS JUST TO KEEP OUT ALL THE UNWANTED CRAP!

1. Stopzilla (popups ads)
2. Spybot search and destroy (spyware)
3. Ad Aware (spyware)
4. Norton Systemworks 2003 (virus protection and cleaning system)
5. Black Ice PC Protection (hackers)
6. Broadband Router (firewall for hackers)

Plus I have the cookie handling settings enabled in IE, not to mention all the updates downloaded from the Windows Update site to fix problems preventing hackers from getting in.

Again, this is F-ING CRAZY having to run all of this! You have to have an army of software and hardware just to be safe surfing the web.

    ORRRRRR...... since you're spending so much money on software DL or what not. Just go T1 and rip the net dude. Or.... learn how to hack yourself. It pays to have "hack" buddies out there that can "protect" you from infection. And they don't expect you to pay "protection" fee's like the Mafia... or try to grind you into sausage for efffin up.:D
