Since Ziggy, thankfully somebody did, posted about different kinds of security software, I have a question myself. Does anybody know about McAfee and whether it is reliable? I have IE as well. And I know that's bad, so you don't have to remind me. (: I'm switching over soon (hopefully, the husband is a pain in the rear and doesn't feel the need to). Anyways, back to the real topic. I've had McAfee for a couple months now, and it's great. It lets me know which sites I can go to, which sites I shouldn't go to, and actually when I was on imageshack something unsafe was trying to redirect me to another site and McAfee wouldn't let it. So I'm really wondering if it is enough, at least for a little while, to keep me protected. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who may help me out. (:

i downloaded the superantispyware free version an ran the scan an found 46 problems but 22 of them were my neopets tool bar an i,m not removing that from my account . the other 24 i deleted . but befor i did i ran my spybot - search & destroy just to see as i already have my neopets allowed on it . it found 34 problems , of which included the 24 that superantispyware found an 10 others . between all the programs i have on my comp i have 2 firewalls , 3 ad/spy blockers an a norton , spybot an now the superantispyware . so hopefully with all that i at least stand a bit of a chance i hope i do anyway . i have PW an PINED all my accounts to death so it the best i can do . i run my scans an update everything monthly thats not a time table as well as defrag , i clean sweep multi times a day an clear my cookies an such every night befor i log off . in the end if i get hacked , i get hacked . its a sad day when users have to rip off free game accounts on a free pet site . that not even real an is a GAME !

Does it sound like I was CG'd? I logged in to read my e-mail and clicked to open a SHH event which sent me to a log-in page for Neopets (normal). I logged-in and got the SHH events. Then I checked my shop history and noticed I had sold two blue evil fuzzles. I used the super shop wizard to find a Blue Evil Fuzzle and went to zenanasx's shop to buy since it was the cheapest. I noticed the card Niten Hiroru for 17K and then SSW'd that item. These were the three shops I went to to buy the cards: kougakajoe; andimum; zenanasx. After purchasing the cards I bought zenanasx's Enchanted Maraquan Necklace too since it was so cheap. I then tried to SSW that item. I was asked to log-in again before I could super shop wizard it. I logged in, then out of my account immediately and logged back in. I don't know that I was CG'd but thought I should tell you since I knew the user's names. _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

I often get logged out after opening a webmail so that might have happened to you too. It's not always right away, but sometimes within 3-4 clicks. It's very annoying :K I always change my pw when it happens anyway.

I like McAfee cranked down tight with intrusion alert, personal information protection, and password vault. I also use firefox in stealth mode, No Script, and key scrambler. Should I be getting more security?
