You can buy then download or just download 
a program called adaware onto your computer that'll get rid of your spyware and it's extremely easy to use

this programme is what he's talking about, it's really good. I've been using it for a couple of years now. they update it every other day or so

paypal is uber secure and great if someone rips you off. I got screwed by SmileyUK on here, sent him £27 via paypal, when he started to avoid emails/pm's and no item showed up, I filed a relevant complaint and got a full refund from the account. So even if anything happens they will sort it out.
just that if someone gained access theyd have a lot of money to play with (which isnt mine)
adaware always finds a few files every time i scan...... not sure why though, i use firefox and im not an idiot (in terms of downloading stupid shizzle) ;/

Revolt, why dont you partition a small amount of your hard drive , install a seperate O/S in there , and use that purely for ie. accounts, internet banking, paypal etc.
There you would not have the worries of bugs and virus to sort out.
Its like having 2 seperate pc's, the first partition (O/S) will not interact with the second partition(O/S).

paypal is realy good fraud shouldnt be a issue especialy if you keep a eye on it use mine for ebay and never had a problem
just make certain your computer is secure to start of with
windows fully patched /firewall /up to date anti virus recomend avast!
and addaware if you feel the need but it cant hurt every now and then to run a scan with it

its of websites they hook onto you system most of them will only be data miners that pass on trafic imformation onto 3rd partys not that much of a hassle you give away more info about your habbits when you use your cludcard at tescos
but nice not to have them still
Did adaware delete you hardcore midget pron
few other good progs to get are spybot search and destroy and also spyware blaster
Make sure you update them once you have installed them.
