My original post stated:
"I have loaded the most up to date versions of the following:

- Norton Anti Virus 2004
- Adaware Professional, Adwatch constantly running"

It also included:
"My PC is connected
to my cable modem via a D-Link 614+ wireless router, I think it may act as
some form of firewall, although I cant be sure." (I have confirmed that it
is in fact a hardware firewall).

I also had the default Windows XP firewall enabled. I should have been
clearer in my post, but basically wanted advice as to what other software
could enhance my security, such as trojan guards etc.

Gary.
