data miner

[Guest]

i have zone alarm, ad aware, spyware blaster, fixit antivirus and email protect and have been trying to get a surfing software that won't allow (data miner\red sheriff )to get on xp. ad aware deletes it but it keeps getting on my pc by the tens. in the past they bragged about noone being able to stop them. has anyone heard a way to keep them off xp yet? thanks in advance.

Try firefox browser. It allows you to pick specific cookies and block them.
It's basicly IE with better security.

Tried turning off Java?

I believe it's also possible to set up a hosts file to divert the reports it
sends back...
