InternetAntiSpy.com keeps popping up every time I open the internet on
my computer.  How can I get rid of this and do you have any idea how
it got there?

arty,

Pink has a great suggestion. They are both great tools. I use both as
well. I also found on the internet someone who had the same problem as
you, and posted to a MSG board, and they were recomended the same
solution.

Also, about how it got there. I found a great article telling about
how spyware can get onto your computer and what you can do to protect
yourself from it.
"A frequently heard question is  "how on earth did I get infected with
all that spyware in the first place?"

Well, you usually get infected because your security settings are too low.

Here are a number of recommendations that will help tighten them, and
which will contribute to making you a less likely victim:"

As a side note, you can set AdAware to run automatically on your PC
while you're in bed. That way, you're protected without taking away
valuable time during your day.

Loaded Spybot S & D, but not familiar enough with list to know what to
fix and what not to.  Interspy still on my opening internet screen.
