Hi,
My dad has WinXP installed already, and he's very used to it. Thus I can't force him to drastic changes. The spyware programs were a nightmare. I used AdAware _AND_ Spybot S&D both to remove them. (Unfortunately neither of these two softwares can find all the spywares on their own.)
That only solved the problem partly, bacause from time to time I have to run a full scan on the system. The solution was to tell dad to use Opera and/or Mozilla firefox, when he visits sites that could be harmful to IE. To get rid of the remaining viruses, I've bought nod32 for a year. What a perfect product! Cheap, small and fast. And there's the auto-update function. With it's resident protection and email protection there is no need to be afraid of viruses. Nod32 even found osome viruses that the Norton Antiviurs could not detect. (The virus signatures were the freshest.)
That's my private experience.
cheers,
Szenty
