Paul, your comments about not having any virus or spyware scanner software is pretty scary. It sends out the very wrong message to anybody who reads it that it must be fine to not take these precautions.

Well tell me how can you be certain that you dont have any spyware or viruses if you dont use scanners ? can you really manually scan for the many thousands of spyware apps yourself ?
Did you consider that if you catch just one single virus it could trash your machine in seconds as you dont have a scanner in place to stop it ?

Do you really think the router stops spyware ? It may help with some viruses but does nothing for spyware.

I think you're living on a knife edge and if you worked for my company your pc would not be allowed to touch my network.

Good Luck.
