[Ham-Computers] Help Aaron Or?

[Brian K. Gaskamp]

Hmm thats interesting, seeing that my free version catches Spyware and 
Trojans.
And what would be the advantage of using another firewall, seems the 
firewall built into most machines is enough?

Spybot in my opinion used to be good, but they changed something within the 
program a while back and it will ask you to make certain changes within 
Windows registry, it asked me whether to accept or not accept.

Here on my machine, I run AVG, Adaware, and Super Antispyware and very 
pleased with the way it all runs.
