Back a couple of years ago when I first found this forum I read and read other's problems and learned a bit. Then suddenly one day I had problems and turned to Cyber Tech Help for assistance and my problems were solved. Since then I have kept a number of programs on my computer....run them frequently and keep them updated. During this time its nearly as if spyware, virus and other nasties were never developed. My point is simply this follow the advise you get here...be deligent in using what is suggested and the internet will be a much nicer place. Its only when I see a friend's computer who doesn't use any "protection" that I remember there were such things as pop ups. Thank you Cyber Tech Help - Webster 
McAfee buys Web site security company for $51M

McAfee will acquire ScanAlert, a Web application security vendor, for $51 million, the companies announced Tuesday.
ScanAlert, which was founded in 2001, runs a paid service that scans Web sites daily looking for security vulnerabilities and checks if e-commerce applications have up-to-date patches.
McAfee said the business will be integrated into its Web Security Group, which develops McAfee's SiteAdvisor service. SiteAdvisor scans Web sites and scores them according to their risk, taking into account for example whether malicious software is hosted on the site. Consumers can download the SiteAdvisor toolbar that displays that ranking in a group of search results.
Sites using ScanAlert's service display a logo that says "Hacker Safe," which also appears on product listings on Web sites such as Yahoo's shopping channel and Pricegrabber.com. The service is aimed at increasing consumer confidence with e-commerce transactions, which have seen a rising level of fraud.
