Fighting Spyware

I'm disgusted that there are individuals and organizations in the Internet world that can place programs, etc., on my computer without my knowing it. I revised the Privacy settings in IE6 so that I get prompted whether to accept a cookie from a website or not.

In addition, I've used Ad-Aware, which scans the computer, alerts you when it uncovers spyware, and gives you the ability to remove it. It might also make you a sandwich, but I haven't figured out how yet. (*wink*)
