Every time I log on the internet I get the same spyware on my computer even when I look at different webpages or even when I dont use the internet browser at all. It also happens when I log off and run adawarese with the latest definitions, I clear all the spyware it has detected then reboot my computer and run it again, and guess what, Ittttsss Baaackkk!!!!, the most I get are registry modifications, with possible highjack next to it.

I have norton personal firewall 2004 but it HEAVILLY eats the memory when on, and causes great performance issues on the net, so I turn it off.

Is there a prog thats small in size that proctects me from all the crap that infects my computer and also keeps my privacy protected?

zone alarm is a good firewall

also you should use various spyware removers s not only ad-aware you should check spyware applcations thread made by North Viking or check download sites like downloads.com or tucows to get them

Also, turn of system restore.
