Well I didn't realise you were offering?

I used to have McAfee anti virus and just a free (zone alarm) firewall, and was having a lot of problems.

Since recently also purchasing the McAfee personal firewall, as well as their anti virus, I do not have many problems, especially now Windows blocks any pop ups automatically.

I also have that Adaware installed, and it keeps picking up a thing called "data miner", whatever that is?

It doesn't seem to affect anything.

EDIT..... just checked it, some 41 items there, all of them were Vendor - Tracking Cookies, Category - Data Miner, all were associated with my cookie files.

It says it is a LOW risk?
