Spyware and computer viruses have been playing an increasing role in compromising the security and stability of personal computers.

Read my recommendations covering basic computer security.

The bad news: Microsoft has dominated the OS and browser market for years, but it's a sad fact that many popular MS products are vulnerable to web based attacks and viruses. It gets worse if you don't keep current on the updates MS releases to plug new security holes. The good news: There are many viable alternatives to MS products available - many of which are free and generally safer than their MS counterparts. If fact, it's now getting to the point where you can replace MS Windows entirely without much trouble, though this may still be a little scary for some people.
