What do you use your gaming computer for? AH only, mostly CD or DVD games. I have 2 comps on my network, 1 has vista and no spyware software, my gamer, and 1 with XP that the kids and wife use, with adaware and it finds much spyware. I'm sure if I put a spyware progam in my gamer and forum checker, it would report a lot of it. But I feel that the spyware programs are spyware and I have nothing to hide. Let them count my kills. He He. IE is spyware, firefox is too, but a bit better. All browsers report usage, get the google tool bar and you send your IP to the world. My solution is to delete history, temp files, and cookies weekly, run defrag weekly, and just keep an eye on your computer. Stay away from browsing too much with the gaming computer and you should be fine. ZoneAlarm is a pain it the butt, I recommend it never to be installed. Be sure to do a search for all of the pieces of ZA and delete them. It will still run in the background if you use the uninstall option. It's like a virus that you asked for.
