Spyware-palooza

I've had a huge problem with spyware lately. When I run SpyBot and Adaware almost daily, I net anywhere from 45-100 objects. We recently signed up with Netzero Hi-Speed last month (dial-up). Could the ISP be responsible? Anyone else have this problem with NetZero?

Try looking in your browser's options for a setting to turn off, or only accept certain cookies. This could be causing a lot of the hits.

Yeah, it all depends on what web pages you visit often. Everytime I run Adaware I find at least 10 spyware objects.
