本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛The first thing to do is to go to www.lavasoft.de and download a program called "Ad-aware" (it's free). Install it and update it's reference file (you'll see what I mean once you run the program).

Ad-aware will identify most spyware, and if you tick the relevant box, will remove it from your system. Make sure you tell it to do a deep scan, and to scan your Favourites folder.

To prevent you from inadvertently downloading spyware in future, you might like to go to www.zonelabs.com and download and install a program called "ZoneAlarm" (again it's free, but ZoneAlarm Pro is MUCH more comprehensive and not too expensive).

You should also check some of your settings in Internet Explorer. Go to the Tools menu, select Options, and click the Security tab. Ensure the options below are set correctly:

"Download unsigned ActiveX controls" - Disable
"Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" - Disable
"File download" - Disable (NB you won't be able to download files with this setting, but unless you frequently download things it's easy to enable it again)
"Font download" - Disable (surely you've got all the fonts you need!)
"Java Permissions" - High safety
"Access data sources across domains" - Disable
"Installation of desktop items" - Prompt
"Software channel permissions" - High
"Allow paste operations via script" - Disable

Then click the Advanced tab, and scroll down to the last section - Security and make sure the following are ticked:

"Check for publisher's certificate recocation"
"Check for server certificate revocation"
"Warn about invalid site certificates"
"Warn if forms submittal is being redirected"

Hopefully this should get you surfing the net and reduce the chances of you downloading something you'd rather not!

Good Luck,
