-- So do you really think that a FBI computer, a hacker pc or Bill Gates home pc looks like this? My God! Then the user Nr.1 or 2 will post someday a topic called ''Help me! My pc is slow'' or better ''Xp sux, Is too slow'' --

* The basics or how to free your mind and your pc:
- There's nothing to fear. Every piece of new virus will be caught by the anti virus research sooner or later.
- You don't have anything so important to hide at least you're some kind of cyber terorist.
- Don't be fooled by antispyware test's made by so called ''Security Specialists'' in over note i even seen a ''Malware Removal University''
- Don't be fooled by antispyware tests made by software sites like PC Mag, Softpedia, Download.com etc...
- Don't trust Download.com’s ''Spyware Horror Stories'' ; that's just a nice way to sell more Spyware Doctor poor software. In my list Download.com is the number 1 spyware distributor on the web.
- When picking a antispyware program use your nose and your pc. Browse some forum's, ask a friend. Pay attention! Some security discussion boards are using ''Pay Per Post on Forum'' technics, that's mean when you ask for a good antispyware program you get poor software like XoftSpySE or Spyware Doctor because the forum admin get a generous commission reselling the X program.
- Don't trust '' Spyware Reports'' maded by antispyware companies, obivious that's a great trick to sell more antispyware programs.

* How to become a JEDI
- Don't download cracks, serials, ''full retail software'' if you are not a ''REAL GEEK''
- Don't be fooled by nice logo's , banners etc... ''100 % Spyware free Certified'' that's only a advertising trick and a nice find to get more visitors on the site making the authors of X software link to the site!
- There's nothing to hide; maybe 90% of us are browsing every day torrent, warez, ed2k sites, lately a lot of programs like ''BitComet Super Accelerator'' and other p2p software are posted on those sites, most of those are pure spyware.
- Don't install 5 hosts files maded by random people from security sites. Sooner or later you will not able to see NEOWIN anymore because some security geek added by mistake the Neowin domain to the list.
- Don't install more than 2 antispyware programs.
- Don't install more than 1 firewall and 1 antivirus program (real security JEDI'S doesn't even have a firewall apart the XP one but that's another story)
- Don't install Process Guard's, Worm Guards, like i said at least you're some kind of cyber terorist you have nothing to hide.
- Don't install the so much recommended by security specialists Google Toolbar only to block popups, every piece of Toolbar on web is a just a great way to get visitors back to the X site, to advertise the Y site, to see which product the X user is looking for so next time Google can display a nice banner...Google even pay webmasters $1 US for each Google Toolbar installed.

* May the force be with you
- Keep in mind that no one is 100% safe on the net, that means not even the best firewall, antivirus, process guard or a antispyware program can keep a hacker or a virus away from your computer. Everyday world best security systems are hacked by 10 years old kid's so it's pretty useless to have the ''User Nr. 1/2'' pc configuration.

LOL DAMN! That computer #2 is bloated

Anyway, this reference is pretty good. When I think I've got a virus/worm, I just post a log of my HijackThis in CastleCops forum. Those spyware-geeks :P
