I mentioned it to a tech for my ISP once, and he said that it only takes a few infected computers in the customer base to create a lot of activity. When I do get spyware zone alarm prevents it from getting out too. Zone Alarm has a fairly userfriendly interface too. You have to keep after the logfiles though, they tend to accumulate and need to be cleaned out regularly.
Do you have XP and if so, did you have to disable that Firewall?
I guess I may go with ZoneAlarm and skip the anti-spam since none of them work well anyway. Time to change my email addy with RR I guess.
