every time i try to put some protection on my p.c it works for a few weeks then it blocks my internet access.so far i have tried microsoft system suite which worked fine for about 3 years then just turned on me,zonealarm which was ok for about a week and something else i cant remember.as soon as i uninstall them i can surf the net fine but of course end up with loads of cunting spyware ,trojans and viruses.has anyone else encountered this or can recommend anything?

The next best thing to a firewall to keep spyware at bay is the likes of spyguard,spyblaster,IE-Spyad,easily found on the net at sites like


If you want to check and see if your computer is actually clean I'd download hijack this and post the log to a computer spyware forum like

Well, my paid-for Lavasoft spyware remover had a virus which shut it down everytime I wanted to scan. Pretty clever actually. I simply could not get rid of it, so I did the drastic thing and completely re-loaded Windows XP from scratch ( I was fucking angry at the time, you must understand ). I've just installed Norton anti-virus 2005 and it has its own spyware checker with its anti-virus ability and it seems to work fine.

I must admit though, I've never understood why 'they' cant keep viruses off our computers in one fell swoop. I think there's too much money to be made selling anti-virus software.

Sounds like you had the infamous CoolWWWsearch smart killer infection

Stops spyware removal programs dead in their tracks

Fortunately some kind soul has made a little program to remove it
