Security Tip - Trusted Sites List Some spyware and adware will change links to your Internet Explorer Trusted Sites Zone. This can allow sites to run with fewer security restrictions and make your PC vulnerable. Make sure you periodically check the Trusted Sites Zone list to ensure only sites you have specifically added are included. Follow the steps below to assure your Trusted Sites have not been altered.

1. Make sure all browser Windows and other applications (including email)
are closed.
2. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop.
3. Choose 'Properties'.
4. Click the 'Security' tab.
5. Click the 'Trusted Sites' icon to highlight
6. Click the 'Sites' button to review the list of sites included.
7. If you see an unwanted site on the list, click once on the site link
displayed to highlight it, then click the 'Remove' button.
8. When finished viewing or modifying the Trusted Sites list, click OK
and then click Apply (if any changes were made).
9. Click OK to exit the Properties menu.

By far one of the best adware spyware programs is Stopzilla. First of all it doesn't just run a free scan, you get a full version for 15 days. You don't pay until you see what it does for you. I like it and if you are looking for an adware/spyware program on its own, this is it.
