I wish someone had the patience to sit down with me and show me how these things are done.
The problem when it comes to removing spyware is that there is no one single way it's done; every spyware program is unique, and has to be removed in a different fashion (and some of them require some serious rooting about in the OS to clean them out!). It's much better to keep the stuff off in the first place.
Your neighbor could show you how to install and configure the firewall easily enough - but now that he's done it, there's really no need to. Anyway, I'm glad your PC is running well again!
