Kat... Windows XP SP2 will prompt me if ActiveX content trys to run... I can
disable Flash and Shockwave with spyware blaster.. Spyware gaurd has a protection
database with a list of bad sites to refuse downloads from, spyware gaurd prompts
action on changes to the registry, spy sweeper will notify me of new cookies.  I
only run a few programs with live protection, if their processes and tray icons
disapear I would notice it very quickly.. and I will shutdown my network with
ZoneAlarm or do a scan on any suspecious network activity, 99% Zonealarm will
notice a file trying to run, and I know by experience on whether or not its safe.
 I see your point, but my Windows protection is fairly decent, after all I
learned my lesson many times in the past.
