Cleaning your tracks is another good way to keep your computer more secure from prying eyes.
They have programs that go through and clean your internet cache, history, windows recent, etc.
I recommend
Windows Washer (1 button does it all, saves time)

There’s also a large variety of Anti-Virus programs out there should your system manage to be infected by one, or you need to minimize the chances of being infected with one.

Norton Antivirus 2003 is the best (make sure u update it right after u install it, they add new updates all the time..dont worry though they are small in size and dont require u to clean up afterwards.)

[Wolfmight]

btw here's a tip for people who defrag they're computer and have Norton Antivirus and Zone Alarm on.

1.Disable Norton Antivirus (scan your computer if you havnt in a long time just to be safe)
2.Open up Zone Alarm and Click the Gold Lock to lock all internet activity. (prevents ip checks and stuff that can slow down Defrag because they make your hardrive proccess small packets.)
3.Close any extra programs like Kazaa, IE, etc untill defrag is done.

now u can defrag without getting some problems aftwards.

hmm, what have been some of your outcomes? Did you have alot of these not set?

btw if u have problems with IE for some strange reason (all websites are diffrent..) there is allways a Reset Button for your settings too.

*Only use the settings below if your having IE Security Problems*

Try this first:
Right Click IE on your desktop, goto properties.
Goto Advanced>Click the Restore Defualts button.

If you still have problems, try this:
Right Click IE on your desktop, goto properties.
Goto Programs Tab> Click Reset Web Settings

If you still continue to have problems, try this:
Goto Startmenu>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.
Find IE (may be in programs, or it may be in Windows Components (depends on version), the uninstall screen should have a repair option..this will reinstall the IE so everything is reset.
