Experts tell us that a no matter how knowledgeable we work at home folks might be when it comes to computer security, a virus only takes seconds to be downloaded over a fast, broadband connection.

For many years, one of our companion sites PC Doctors Group, has published articles and provided links to many of the more popular spyware detection sites and programs. One such program Spybot-Search & Destroy was recently featured in an in-depth “how to” on c/net’s Download site.
