Lol. It doesnt matter. No matter where you go, there's always spyawre. i have that problem too. You can get rid of it by going into your registry and killing all the sus entries, or dl spy removers.

Deleting all the registry entries will probably takes ages, so spy removers is probably better...Ad-aware is still the best:

search google for this program:

Spybot - Search & Destroy

download and run the scans! then select the protection option....immunization (i can't spell but you get my drift )

ummmm spyware ? sounds like Messenger service to me... it's just probably some bot randomising IP's and mass sending netsends to you, it's nothing to worry about, you can feel free to turn off Messenger service.

faar it seems like everyone seems to b hit with porn mails, and porn e-mails are the norm now.

winston, how can you turn off messenger service?

Go to your System Administrative Tools in the start menu or if it isn't there, go to the Start Properties window, click Customize, click Advanced, scroll down till you get to Admin Services and click to show it.

When you've found it, go to the entry called Services, go to the Messenger one and in startup type select 'Disabled'.

Or... an easier way is

Start> Run

services.msc

look at the list for Messenger, right click and go to Stop, and also go to properties and set it to disabled.

WIN XP SP2 is meant to fix that up.
