Block folder names

[Guest]

For a couple of times now I have somehow downloaded a SpyWare software.
Everyone knows these are annoying and however hard you try always a couple
will get through. Luckely I know everything which is on my PC so I noticed
when a folder called Temp in the C Drive. Usually also with this you get a
Bulls Eye Network thing aswell in the Program Files. Is it possible in simple
steps please to stop a folder being created with a certain name. So next time
I download this SpyWare an error will come up saying that it can't install
because I have blocked the use of that folder name. Is this possible?

Thanks

"always a couple will get through." - not on my computers.

If you keep repeatedly getting "infested" with the same spyware then
something you are doing is allowing it in. The simplest answer is to find
out which freeware utility you use or website you visit is loading this onto
your computer and stop using that particular resource.

Like the old saying goes: "Doctor it hurts when I do this". "Well stop doing
it then!"
