Actually, you should be running SpyBot Search and Destroy
www.safer-networking.org
(mirror at www.majorgeeks.com click the spyware tools link)
Then use the immunize features to the fullest.
Also, Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com and set your
anti-virus program to actively scan all downloaded files.
Since you are the administrator on your computer, set a
password on your account and give your husband a limited
account.
