Your software firewall won't "catch" it either when it first comes
into and installs itself on your system. And the nasty stuff, like
root kits, will bypass your firewall like it wasn't even there.
Where do you surf? Geeze, I never get fun stuff like that.
You must not us a hosts file, or adaware/spybot/spyware blaster, or
update your Java, or maybe you're still running XP-SP1 (or XP-gold). >> Stay informed about: Pinging all the experts here -->Zone Alarm anti-spyware ju.. |

I don't use much of a hosts file, don't have adware/spybot/spyware
blaster running... Java is updated...  , and I am still running xp-sp1,
the benefits of sp2 weren't worth it to me.
