First I've heard of this tool. Thanks for the good advice!
Seconded. This would be worth looking at.Quote:

Just to name a few lol. Look into sandboxing your computer, no matter which one you decide, going to download on main comp is like rawdogging a stranger, and using an AV is like putting on a condom with holes in it (May not get a virus, but doesn't mean you wont get pregnant)
a lot of toolbars could also slow down your computer :(
If your going to do downloads make sure you have sandboxie... thats what I use and it doesnt put that extra crap on there
use a fire wall and anti virus most games carry ad ons anti virus should block it
I can't download any of it for sure and pure fear lol
